We were delighted to have worked with Green Mountain to bring this new capacity onstream in a timely fashion, underscoring the benefits of factory-engineering, pre-testing and faster on-site installation which prefab delivers." Prefabricated data center solution reduces risk in design and construction Towards the end of 2018, Green Mountain announced the expansion of its two high profile data center developments to deliver 4MW at Stavanger and a further 3MW at Telemark. To facilitate the capacity increases, Green Mountain awarded Schneider Electric €10M to deliver a complete solution utilising the competencies of the company's Energy Management business unit. The two companies had history having collaborated to launch Green Mountain's high efficiency and highly secure DC1-Stavanger facility. The new capacity has been enabled by a Schneider Electric turnkey solution comprising 15 state-of-the-art EcoStruxure Modular Data Center Power and Cooling modules, together with MV & LV switchgear and EcoStruxure management software. The equipment was factory assembled and tested at Schneider Electric's new Barcelona facility, and delivered to site via road transportation.
