Fossefall has selected Armada as a technology partner for its planned data center deployment in the Nordics.
Under the partnership, Fossefall will deploy five of Armada’s Leviathan modular data centers.
The modular data centers will offer 9MW of capacity and will be delivered by Q1 2027. According to Armada, the partnership extends across Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
The initial contract is valued at several hundred million NOK, or tens of millions of USD.
“We selected Armada for its best-in-class technology, proven execution capabilities, and ability to significantly accelerate time to market,” said Øyvind Vesterdal, CEO of Fossefall. “We were also keen to work with a strategic partner manufacturing in Europe, to provide a resilient supply chain and reduce exposure to global disruptions. By refining clean energy into high-tech AI capacity, we will ensure national control over critical technology, create a billion-kroner export industry and produce significant local economic benefits.”
The megawatt-scale (1.77MW maximum IT load) Leviathan module was launched in July 2025. It uses liquid cooling and can be deployed in remote, mission-critical environments and can be co-located with stranded natural gas, solar, nuclear, or other alternative energy sources.
Fossefall launched in November 2025, at the time stating plans for 500MW of capacity. This has since been scaled up to 1GW across the Nordics. CEO Vesterdal was previously CEO of data center firm Earth Wind and Power. He is a partner at investment firm Glacier Link and has held roles at investment firm Valinor, AI startup WAIYS, and renewable energy company Norsk Solar.
Earlier this year, Armada secured a similar contract in Australia with WinDC for an 11MW deployment. The company raised $230 million in May 2026.
