Taken from the basin880M gal/yr

Evaporated on site14.0M gal

Making the power866M gal

Basin stressLow

Where the water comes from: Closed loop — negligible draw
Cooling: Cold-climate free cooling; waste heat to a neighbouring trout farm and district heat
Basis: Modelled from cooling design — WUE 0.05 L/kWh

Air — what the stacks emit

Nitrogen oxides10.6t/yr

Sulphur dioxide4.23t/yr

Fine particulates1.06t PM2.5

Health damages$0.84M/yr

Where it burns: Norway — Statnett
Generation mix: Hydro 88 · Wind 10
CO₂e: 30.7 kt/yr — climate, not air quality

Who wanted it

Who asked for it: ByteDance / TikTok — a ten-year lease taken to satisfy EU data-residency commitments
Who approved it: Hamar municipality; Norwegian hydro supply; Statnett connection
What it serves: TikTok's European user data under Project Clover
IT capacity: 150 MW running of 300 MW announced

Norwegian hydro makes this the lowest-carbon site in the dataset by a wide margin. It exists because of European data-protection law, not because compute is cheaper here.

Water and air figures are modelled from disclosed capacity, not measured — site-level error is roughly ±40%. Diesel backup generators are not counted, so on-site figures are floors. Full method.
