Nscale’s Norwegian flagship data center has 6.4 MW operational against 30 MW planned capacity, approximately six months behind schedule.

· ComputeLabs Research · from the October 18, 2026 edition

The report distinguishes operating capacity from the full project plan. Nscale’s Norwegian flagship had 6.4 megawatts (MW) in operation against planned capacity of 30 MW. These are data-center capacity figures, not counts of graphics processing units, servers, or racks.

The project was reported to be approximately six months late. The supplied account does not identify the original completion date or provide a revised schedule for bringing the remaining capacity online. It also does not specify whether the MW figures represent total facility power or information-technology load.

The Norwegian project is separate from the delayed UK development. The same report covers Microsoft’s withdrawal from Loughton, but it does not assign the Norwegian delay the same cause. No Norwegian customer allocation, accelerator model, utilization rate, or site-specific capital expenditure is supplied.
