Bakki Iceland
AI Data Centre

A flagship up to 200MW renewable-powered AI infrastructure development

Project Overview

The Bakki AI Data Centre is GIGA-42's flagship development in Iceland: a scalable, 100% renewable-powered, AI-optimised data-centre campus designed to meet surging demand for high-density compute.

Located in North Iceland—one of the coldest, cleanest and most energy-secure regions in Europe—Bakki combines geothermal baseload, natural cooling, robust grid integration, and world-class connectivity.

GIGA-42's vertically integrated approach delivers ultra-low operating costs, rapid scalability and direct access to hyperscale-grade network routes.

Why Bakki - Key Differentiators

Firm, Baseload Geothermal Power

Bakki has direct access to large-scale geothermal generation, providing continuous, high-load-factor renewable power well suited to AI and data centre operations.

🏭

Industrial-Ready Site with Grid and Logistics

An established industrial area with access to high-voltage grid infrastructure, campus-scale land, and nearby port facilities, supporting phased delivery and efficient construction.

🤝

Municipal Alignment and Local Value Creation

Strong alignment with the local municipality supporting responsible, long-term development and recognising the role of strategic infrastructure in supporting regional growth.

Development Plan

Phased Growth to Up to 200MW

Phase 1: 50MW

Initial deployment with modular construction framework that accelerates delivery while reducing project risk.

Phase 2: 100MW

Continued expansion using proven modular construction methods. Increased operational capacity and revenue generation.

Phase 3: 150MW

Further scalable expansion. Refinement of operations and optimization of efficiency metrics.

Phase 4: Up to 200MW

Full capacity deployment by 2030. Steady-state operations with long-term lease revenue and heat recycling partnerships.

ESG & Socio-Economic Impact

Local Employment

Approximately 230 long-term jobs expected at full build-out, supporting local communities and economic development in North Iceland.

Heat Recycling Ecosystem

25–100MW of recoverable heat creates new local industries: aquaculture, greenhouses, district heating, and biotechnology production.

Carbon Leadership

100% geothermal and hydroelectric power delivers an exceptionally low-carbon operating profile. Zero harmful emissions.
