On Monday, Norwegian data center company Green Mountain and German power company KMW, marked the start of construction of their new sustainable data center in Mainz, outside Frankfurt. Representatives of both local and regional government were present to perform a foundation stone ceremony at the site. The first 18MW building of the site, with 54MW total potential capacity, is set to be completed in Q1 2025.
Earlier this year, Green Mountain and KMW announced they had partnered in a joint venture to build a new sustainable data center campus in Mainz, 30 km outside Frankfurt. The ground work at the site started in September, but today they officially marked the construction start.
