Data centres could become a new and important source of revenue for Greenland. This is according to Erik Jensen (S), Chair of the Finance and Tax Committee, following the committee\u2019s recent study trip to Ireland, where members explored opportunities to attract international data centre investments. This was reported by KNR, Greenland\u2019s national broadcaster, on its website knr.gl.<\/p>\n
According to Erik Jensen, Greenland has significant potential, particularly due to its access to green energy and its cold climate, which can reduce the energy required for cooling.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe there is enormous potential in making better use of our own resources,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Erik Jensen told KNR, Greenland's national broadcaster.<\/p>\n Ireland is currently one of Europe\u2019s leading countries for data centres, but the country is expected to face energy shortages by 2035. During the visit, the Finance and Tax Committee experienced strong interest from the data centre industry, should the Government of Greenland choose to initiate contact.<\/p>\n With upcoming hydropower plants planned at Tasersiaq and Tarsartuup Tasersua, Greenland is expected to have a surplus of green electricity that could be used to power data centres. According to Erik Jensen, this could both create jobs and help diversify Greenland\u2019s economy, which is currently heavily dependent on fisheries.<\/p>\n At the same time, he pointed to the need for a new business strategy and competitive framework conditions, including taxation policies and infrastructure such as subsea cables.<\/p>\n \u201cData centres are a long-term investment, and we need to focus on them already now.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Erik Jensen told KNR.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 18.December 2025 Data centres could become a new and important source of revenue for Greenland.
