VivoPower Targets Up To $4M Incremental EBITDA from Norway Data Center BESS
VivoPower PLC announced it is conducting a technical and commercial feasibility study for integrating a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at its 41.5 MW Mo i Rana data center in Northern Norway. This integration is targeted to generate up to USD$4 million in incremental annualized EBITDA by enabling participation in additional Nordic reserve markets (FCR-N, FCR-D, and FFR). The BESS is also expected to enhance the data center's suitability for AI compute workloads by improving power quality and resilience, while preserving full leasable capacity. The final investment decision is contingent on the feasibility study's completion, board approval, and regulatory clearances.
