IPOA delivers to the Google data center in Telemark

One of Norway's largest switching stations is currently being built at Gromstul in Telemark – the facility that will supply Google's upcoming data center with electricity. The project, led by Nett-Tjenester on behalf of grid owner Lede, provides for 20 unique 132 kV fields with duplex busbars of 220 meters each.

IPOA has supplied steel structures for the project, through design, processing and production in Norway. In total, around 150 tons of steel have been handled locally, which has contributed to both national value creation and high flexibility in implementation.

The switching station is scheduled to be operational in October 2024 and marks a milestone both for Nett-Sjenester and for the development of Google's first Norwegian data center, which is scheduled to be operational in 2026.
