What Bulk Infrastructure Group does

Bulk Infrastructure Group AS is a privately held Norwegian industrial developer, builder, and operator founded in 2006 and headquartered in Oslo. The company operates through three core subsidiaries: Bulk Data Centers (OS-IX in Oslo, N01 in Kristiansand, DK01 in Esbjerg), Bulk Fiber Networks (own subsea and terrestrial dark fiber infrastructure including the Havfrue, Havhingsten, Havsil, Inter-city Ring, Leif Erikson, and Skagerrak 4 systems), and Bulk Industrial Real Estate (sustainable Scandinavian warehouse and logistics property development under the Bulk Modul, Bulk Wood, and Bulk Park brands). All three units share a unified sustainability positioning — data centers are powered by 100% renewable hydroelectric and offshore wind energy with cold-climate free cooling, and the company is ISO 9001/14001/22301/27001 certified.

Bulk's core technology proposition centers on large-scale, sustainable, AI-ready Nordic infrastructure: the N01 campus offers 100MW contracted capacity today with potential to scale to 1GW across 3km², paired with three subsea and four terrestrial fiber routes for redundancy. The company supports high-density GPU and CPU workloads exceeding 30kW per rack for HPC and AI customers, and provides a 24/7 Renewable Power Matching service tying consumption to specific hydropower generation.

The business model is diversified across recurring subscription colocation (rack, cage, suite), one-time build-to-suit and powered land arrangements, dark fiber lease revenue, and industrial property leasing with occasional portfolio divestitures (notably a NOK 3.95 billion sale to KLP Eiendom in February 2026). GTM is predominantly direct enterprise sales — a dedicated Solutions Team designs custom environments for hyperscale operators, AI companies, financial institutions, governments, and large enterprises, supported by CBRE operations and DE-CIX interconnection partnerships. Customer mix spans hyperscalers (CoreWeave, UK quant hedge fund), enterprises (Intility, AF Gruppen, Cloud Factory), public sector (Esbjerg Municipality, IKT Agder), gaming (i3D.net), and logistics tenants (Leman, Elektroimportøren). The company is led by CEO Jon Gravråk and founder Peder Nærbø, and is backed by a €350M equity investment from BGO (2024) and a €410M senior secured loan from ABN Amro, Citibank, and Nordea (2025).
