High-density micro-module data center in Latvia

Delska's EU North Riga LV DC1 is a 10 MW, high-density, AI-ready data center in Riga, Latvia, designed for HPC workloads with up to 250 kW per rack and full renewable energy support.

Overview

Delska, a Baltic operator formed from the merger of DEAC and Data Logistics Center, launched its EU North Riga LV DC1 facility in Riga, Latvia, as a high-density micro-module data center tailored for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. The 7,100-square-meter facility supports up to 250 kW per rack, placing it firmly in the high-density category, and is designed to scale from 10 MW to 30 MW on acquired land. This modular approach allows for flexible expansion while maintaining operational efficiency.

Technical Specifications

Rack Density: 250 kW per rack, supporting GPU-intensive and accelerated workloads Total Area: 7,100 sqm (76,425 sq ft)Initial Capacity: 10 MW, expandable to 30 MWCooling Systems: Hot-aisle containment, advanced free-cooling, Weiss Technik Vindur® CoolW@ll systems, Trane chillers, and both air and direct-to-chip liquid cooling for high-density GPU racks Power Supply: Secured grid power with backup generators running on Neste MY Renewable Diesel; electricity during maintenance is redirected to consumers to reduce waste Sustainability: Powered entirely by renewable energy from Northern European wind farms, solar parks, and hydroelectricity; designed for PUE below 1.

3 Strategic ImportanceThe facility positions Riga as a competitive alternative to traditional European data center hubs like Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and London, which face power and space constraints. By offering high-density, AI-ready infrastructure in a less saturated region, Delska supports enterprises seeking scalable, sustainable, and high-performance computing capacity. The Latvian government has recognized the project as a milestone in the country's digital development, highlighting its role in European digital sovereignty and economic growth.

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency

Sustainability is central to the design of EU North Riga LV DC1. The facility uses 100% green energy, advanced cooling solutions, and renewable diesel for backup power. Delska is also exploring waste heat reuse in collaboration with Riga's municipal heating company to supply residential buildings, further enhancing energy efficiency.

ConclusionDelska's EU North Riga LV DC1 represents a state-of-the-art, high-density micro-module data center in Latvia, combining modular scalability, high rack density, AI and HPC readiness, and a strong sustainability profile. It exemplifies the Baltic region's growing attractiveness for advanced computing infrastructure and positions Latvia as a viable alternative to traditional European data center hubs.
