The company’s four Nordic data centers – located in Iceland and Finland – are all powered by predictably-priced, 100 percent renewable energy and are engineered for high intensity workloads, while its hyper-connected central London data center is the optimal location for latency and connectivity sensitive applications.

Verne’s on-site experts provide unparalleled support to ensure optimised operations for customers from all industries.

"Sustainability and efficiency have been at the heart of Verne’s mission since opening its first data center campus on an ex-NATO base in Iceland – the only country in the world powered by 100% renewable energy"

Verne today delivers data center solutions across three locations: Iceland, Finland, and London. Verne’s Icelandic campus is powered by 100% renewable geothermal and hydroelectric energy and benefits from highly-efficient free air cooling due to the temperate climate.

Verne’s facilities in Finland are Certified Climate Neutral by the Swiss carbon finance consultancy South Pole, and the hyperscale and co-location services there are 100% powered by sustainable energy sources. Verne’s Finnish data center campuses also utilise heat re-use and liquid cooling technologies to further improve their energy efficiency and sustainability.

The London campus is ideally located for latency-sensitive workloads – around 10% of applications – freeing up the other 90% to be located in the more sustainable Nordic locations.

Verne was the first data center in the industry to go public on a range of sustainability metrics, so customers have complete transparency over the environmental impact of their operations.

These include Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions as well as WUE, CUE and PUE. In 2022, Verne’s operations generated a carbon footprint equivalent to around 75 homes’ energy for one year. But we powered data center infrastructure and compute that was the equivalent of over 10,000 homes’ electricity for the year. Verne is also focused on design principles that, from the very outset, ensure we maximise building efficiency and minimise embodied carbon of our infrastructure. We are focused on the circular economy impact of our operations and have in place detailed recycling and re-use programmes to minimise the waste impact of our operations.
