Data centres consume massive electricity, driving interest in Greenland’s low‑cost, cool environment
  • Modern data centres can draw megawatts of power, raising concerns about sustainability and cost.
  • Greenland’s cold climate reduces cooling requirements, cutting operational expenses.
  • The island’s abundant renewable potential (hydro, wind) offers cheap, green electricity.
  • Tech firms are therefore scouting Greenland as a strategic location for next‑generation data hubs.
