required to be disclosed under the laws of a member state
24 October 2025: Magnora, a Norwegian data center and clean energy project
developer, releases its financial report for the third quarter of 2025. The
company is expanding its data center (DC) business - leveraging its expertise,
existing portfolio, and capital-light business model to develop and deliver data
center projects.
Q3 HIGHLIGHTS AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Establishment of Magnora Data Center AB in Sweden: On 10 September Magnora
announced the establishment of Magnora Data Center AB, which is headed by
Swedish serial entrepreneur Peter Nygren. Nygren is the founder of Arise
Windpower and has been a co-investor and active owner in Helios Nordic Energy
prior to exit, having scaled businesses from start-up to valuations around SEK 1
billion and above.
Acquisition of Norwegian data center operator Storespeed AS: On 4 October
Magnora signed an agreement to acquire 75% of the shares in Storespeed, in
partnership with Blix Group. Both are well-established data center operators.
Storespeed's DC in Halden, Norway, may be expanded to up to 5 MW organically
with limited investments and a resulting high profitability. Storespeed is also
a platform for expansion, having multiple greenfield project development
opportunities. Founder John Amundsen is a pioneer in digital infrastructure and
has valuable experience and network that complements Blix Group's DC and
connectivity expertise and Magnora's development skills. Magnora will continue
to operate with cost discipline, limited capital allocation (incl. leases),
partnerships, high-quality execution and attractive returns.
Strong partnership interest in data center project development: Throughout
October, Magnora has received proposals from a number of property developers,
utilities, business developers, and municipalities. The combined potential of
these partnership discussions represents approximately 1,500 MW of data center
capacity. Based on the interest, Magnora has decided to accelerate its data
center activities.
Maturing the renewable-energy portfolio: Magnora's project portfolio grew by 4%,
with additional land agreements expected to close in Q4. Magnora remains
committed to its target of a 10 GW project portfolio by year-end. A record
number of projects are sales-ready, with active commercial discussions across
all regions and technologies.
Germany - surging demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS): Through
close collaboration with regulators and municipalities, Magnora moves towards
power grid connection for seven projects.
UK solar PV and BESS - preparing for grid and sales processes: In the UK,
projects with all permits in place, including relevant projects within Magnora's
portfolio, are expected to receive final grid offers in late 2025 or early 2026.
Dialogues with established counterparties are progressing, to deliver on a
sustained demand for Ready-to-Build projects.
Italy - expanding the team and advancing projects: Three new hires this quarter
will accelerate project execution. The 450 MW portfolio remains on track for the
auctions scheduled in 2026 and 2027.
South Africa - wind in focus: Magnora is in detailed discussions for the sale of
several large-scale wind projects, in combination with solar PV ("clusters").
Offshore wind progressing in Scotland: Progress on supply chain, CfD and new
environmental data confirm the viability of the ScotWind project.
Norway - maturing solar pipeline: The project portfolio of Hafslund Magnora Sol
exceeds 2,000 MW (more than 800 MW net to Magnora). Solar PV remains attractive
as energy demand picks up in the years to come while limited new energy
production is added.
Cash and cash equivalents totalled NOK 192.6 million as of 30 September 2025 (Q3
2024: NOK 334.9 million), reflecting development spending and shareholder
returns, partly offset by milestone earnings from a sold project in South
Africa.
Capital returned to shareholders was NOK 11.9 million of cash.
