VivoPower PLC is running a formal technical and commercial feasibility study for integrating a battery energy storage system at its 41.5 MW Mo i Rana data center in Northern Norway. The work will determine whether the site can participate in additional Nordic reserve products while keeping the existing 41.5 MW leasable capacity available for AI compute tenants.

The company said the feasibility study targets incremental annualized EBITDA of up to approximately USD$4 million from BESS-enabled participation in additional Nordic reserve markets. Internal analysis tied the opportunity to capacity payments and assumes external feasibility validation as well as prevailing Nordic reserve market clearing prices, along with prequalification, capital availability, and market conditions.

VivoPower’s analysis indicated a co-located BESS could enable participation in three additional Nordic reserve products that are not economically accessible to the site's compute load alone due to endurance, symmetry, and response-speed requirements. The cited products were FCR-N, FCR-D, and FFR, with indicative endurance and timing ranges described for each.

The company said the study will assess electrical headroom at the existing point of connection, including transformer and switchgear capacity, along with protection coordination, metering and settlement architecture, and the interaction between BESS dispatch and tenant service level agreements. It said any investment decision depends on completion of the study, board approval, tenant consultation, and applicable Norwegian regulatory and grid-connection approvals. Forward-looking statements included references to the feasibility study, targeted incremental EBITDA, the company’s ability to participate in additional Nordic reserve markets, and related expected benefits, each subject to risk and uncertainty.
