Magnora Data Center ASA acquires 50% stake in joint venture with Sunly to develop up to 400 MW data center in Risti

Magnora Data Center ASA has agreed to acquire a 50% interest in the Risti Kampus data centre project, a joint venture with the Estonian renewable energy group Sunly. It comes with 180 MW of grid capacity available today and a planned expansion to 400 MW.

European renewable-energy group Magnora Data Centre is a spin-off from Magnora ASA, an international conglomerate operating in Norway, Sweden, South Africa, Italy and the United Kingdom. It has listed separately in June 2026.

The company has been on a massive expansion spree, with Estonia now entering its investment orbit. The investor will finance half of a campus built beside the hybrid energy park Sunly is developing at Risti in western Estonia. The park pairs 244 MWp of solar with 144 MW of battery storage and 44 MW of wind, writes Sunly.
