Green Mountain employs natural cooling at Norwegian data centres, using cold fjord water and ambient air. This approach significantly reduces the energy needed for server cooling operations. At one site, 8°C fjord water cools equipment through a heat exchanger. Another facility uses outside air for cooling, achieving 330 days of free cooling annually. These methods improve energy efficiency and lower the overall power usage effectiveness.
