The Baltic States Get Their First Large-Scale Data Center
It's the first of three planned for the area
One of the first large-scale, energy-efficient data centers opened in Estonia. The facility, which cost nearly 40 million euros, is the first of three buildings to be built in the same area, all of which will contribute to the development of e-commerce and digital societies in the Baltics. To the ordinary citizen, this means a smaller ecological footprint of data and even better access to e-services. In addition, the opening of the building complex will multiply the data hosting export potential of the region.
“Data centers are the physical foundation of our current and future digital society, without which our way of life and business activities would be unthinkable,” said Andres Sutt, minister of entrepreneurship and information technology for Estonia. “Greenergy’s top-tier and high energy efficiency data center will increase the competitiveness of the Estonian economy and will create the necessary infrastructure for the digital transformation.”
