  "account": "Norske Asp Data Center i Stavanger is reportedly considering listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange, according to Bloomberg. Bloomberg claims to have sources who are familiar with the matter. The debut could occur as early as this year, and if investor interest is strong enough, the company could potentially raise up to 100 million dollars, equivalent to nearly a billion kroner, writes the news agency. Asp Data Center's CEO, Ole Fredrik Bergseth, emphasizes that the company does not comment on speculation or market rumors. He notes that the company operates in a capital-intensive business and points to a February announcement that the owner (Asp Eiendom) has hired DNB Carnegie to conduct a strategic review of its ownership. Bergseth states that the company is fully focused on operating in line with its strategy. If there is a stock listing, it would be one of the first in Norway since the boom of such company listings in the US and Asia, Bloomberg writes. In September, the data center raised 1.6 billion kroner through a bond loan under attractive terms, with \"significant investor interest,\" Bergseth tells. The company is well-positioned, as its customers are most concerned with reliable power supply, attractive locations, and short delivery times, combined with documented execution capacity, he says. The company has a total order reserve of nearly two billion kroner after the last announced contract for the K11 data center in Stavanger. \"Demand for modern and energy-efficient data center capacity in Northern Europe continues to rise,\" the company wrote in September. Asp Data Center lists five data center locations on its website, two of which are already operational, while two others (Dale and Suldal) are under development. The company also has a large property in Finland, where it plans to build 30 MW capacity in the first expansion phase, with potential to increase to over 400 MW through further expansion. The global AI boom has led to a tremendous investment appetite and demand for land with access to cheap and sustainable power. The data center industry, however, has faced much resistance, including due to a lack of regulation, power consumption, and secrecy around global giants' entry into small local communities.",
