WS COMPUTING AS

Overview

WS Computing AS is building out a multi-building data center campus at Gromstul in Skien, Telemark, with active concessions covering grid connections, construction power, and diesel backup generation for both Building 1 and Building 2. The company has secured a 480 MW consumption reservation in the Statnett grid queue at Tegneby transforming station in NO1, signaling ambitions for a hyperscale-class facility. Their concession activity is focused on enabling infrastructure rather than power production, reflecting a pure data center consumer strategy.

Active Regions

Strategic Focus

WS Computing is pursuing a hyperscale data center development strategy centered on the Gromstul site in Skien, building out a multi-building campus with robust backup power infrastructure. The 480 MW grid queue reservation at Tegneby in NO1 indicates plans for a very large power footprint, placing them among the more ambitious data center entrants in Norway. Their concession portfolio is entirely consumption-oriented with no energy production assets.

Recent Activity

In the last 30 days, NVE granted WS Computing a concession for an emergency power generator at Building 2 (28 August 2026), following the case advancing to formal application stage earlier in August. This continues the buildout of backup power resilience for the Gromstul campus.
