The company also incorporates renewable diesel capability.“ We can use HVO, which means renewable diesel. This cuts up to 90 % of the total emissions compared to traditional fuels. This is also the case in atNorth”
Nordic logistics prove kW-set Oy capabilities across challenging routes As the atNorth partnership expanded beyond Finland into new Nordic markets, kW-set Oy faced increasingly complex logistical challenges. The company’ s ability to deliver backup power systems across vast distances and difficult terrain would prove crucial to maintaining the relationship.“ One of the most interesting milestones is the deliveries to Iceland. The distance between Finland and Iceland is comparable to the distance between Finland and Portugal or Spain – more than 3,000 kilometres by sea – and we delivered the generators on time,” Atte says.
kW-set’ s logistical expertise has become increasingly valuable as European data centre operators expand into new territories. Traditional hubs like Frankfurt and London face capacity constraints that push operators toward previously overlooked regions.“ If we look at the data centre market, it’ s growing really fast. These so-called flagship countries like Frankfurt and London are really crowded,” Atte observes.
Nordic countries offer advantages beyond available land, particularly sustainable energy production.“ Now we see the demand growing in the Nordics also because of sustainable energy production, which favours the Nordic countries,” Atte notes.
The geographic shift benefits operators like atNorth and their suppliers. Customer demand has also pushed kW-set Oy into adjacent product categories.“ We have had many requests from customers to have an E-POD or power pod supplier like us, so we have actually started this year to also manufacture and sell E-PODs and power pods. So that is a new product category for us,” Atte says.
