Gromstul: construction and electrical permission have different scopes
A historical construction account and a later electrical-installation licence establish different parts of the evidence picture. Neither establishes usable compute today.
The Gromstul project context includes historical Building 1 and proposed Building 2 reporting, beside a separately scoped NVE electrical case. These are not interchangeable campus-wide stages.
This is a connected project evidence file, not a new physical-facility record. The original catalogue URL and identity remain in place.
What stage does the evidence support?
The existing record retains a Building 1 construction observation from December 2025. The separately reviewed NVE case lists electrical-installation permission dated 28 August 2026; another page for that case names two permitted 132 kV line spans. These listings do not update the old building-stage observation or establish completed electrical work.
Retained catalogue stage and its date
The existing catalogue label is under construction, observed as of 12 December 2025. Its recorded check remains 2 October 2026. Retained historical catalogue label, not a fresh whole-project status check or a delivery-confidence score.
Project stage and evidence quality answer different questions. A reviewed permit can be strong evidence of that permit within its scope while leaving current construction or delivery unresolved. No delivery-confidence score is assigned here.
What needs to be established next?
The NVE listing identifies two permitted 132 kV line scopes. Seek separately dated evidence for their construction and energisation, the relevant building, remaining consents and commissioning.
Current construction, commissioning and usable capacity
Not established by the evidence inspected
The historical construction observation and electrical permission cannot answer whether compute can be used now.
Current participation route and deadline
Not established by the evidence inspected
Do not rely on an old hearing reference as an invitation to comment today.
Documented local positions and delivered benefits
Not researched in this file
No view is attributed to a community and no local benefit is assumed.
A single site-wide delivery probability
Not applicable to this question
This file does not turn scoped permissions or old stages into a probability score.
What does this mean for people affected?
The existing record links zoning and emissions evidence. Their presence does not establish that concerns are resolved, participation is open or benefits have been delivered.
Use the community question guide to ask who makes the decision, what evidence is missing, how to participate and how any commitments will be checked. Unknown evidence does not establish no impact or no concern.
What materially changed?
This first connected evidence file assembles existing published observations. It does not establish a newly detected project change or a complete change history. A later source date alone is not evidence that the whole project advanced.
A new evidence page is a site improvement. It is not, by itself, a new project milestone. No material-change detection date or complete historical sequence is claimed.
What should I watch or do next?
Inspect the listed line scopes, then seek separately dated evidence for construction and energisation, the relevant building, remaining consents and commissioning. Open the official source.
A later dated building or commissioning observation with an explicit building scope.
Evidence that either permitted 132 kV line span was constructed and energised.
Current official participation information and evidence of local commitments or outcomes.
If you need compute now, use Find compute to investigate an access route with its own eligibility and service evidence. A project milestone is not an available compute offer.
Inspect the supporting observations
Original evidence dates and recorded checks are retained separately. Assembling this file does not renew them. Unknown source dates stay unknown.
December 2025 noise report, as retained in the existing record
A December 2025 noise report says Building 1 is under construction and Building 2, a planned southern extension, would add server halls, 70 cooling units and 46 backup diesel generators.
Scope: Historical Building 1 construction and proposed Building 2 context, not a new campus-wide stage observation.
Evidence basis: historical published record. Reuses the published record. No fresh source retrieval or whole-record revalidation in this edition; an exact independent review timestamp is not stored in this record.
Source conditions and limits
Existing source conditions retained; no new source-content licence. Selected existing attributed fact and ordinary original link only. Third-party source material retains its terms. This evidence file creates no blanket reuse or recurring-monitoring permission.
NVE: Gromstul electrical-installation case
NVE lists the Gromstul electrical-installation case as licence granted, dated 28 August 2026, and says permission was given to WS Computing AS for electrical installations linked to the data centre in Skien.
Scope: NVE case status for electrical installations linked to the project; not all campus consents or energisation.
Event-date scope: Date listed against this licence-granted case status, not a new campus-stage observation

Existing scoped independent review: 2026-10-17T17:31:59Z. This is not a new check of present conditions.
Source conditions and limits
The inspected evidence is the case HTML, not the underlying decision PDF or attachments. Electrical-installation permission does not establish all campus consents, legal finality, a current comment or appeal window, completion, commissioning, current operation, capacity or available compute. WS Computing AS is the named permission recipient, not newly verified campus owner, operator or end user. Earlier campus facts, stage, capacity and source dates are unchanged; no building or phase is split or merged.
Source copyright retained; exact basic-fact use assessed only. Two minimal attributed basic case facts and ordinary unframed case link only. No source narrative, quotations, attachments, maps, drawings, images, contacts, tables or datasets reproduced or adapted. No open licence, public-domain status, endorsement, blanket domain clearance or recurring-monitoring grant. The inspected NVE open-data notice applies NLOD to api.nve.no data, not automatically this case HTML or attachments; no API data was acquired. No applicable express restriction was visible in the complete case and inspected notices; this is not proof that no broader terms exist. Reassess newly evidenced applicable conditions without a paraphrase workaround.
The retained fingerprint describes parsed evidence, not raw origin bytes or a complete source-body hash. No source retrieval is performed by this page.
NVE: Gromstul permitted 132 kV line scopes
NVE lists case 202607246 as licence granted, dated 28 August 2026. A separate page for the same case identifies two 132 kV line scopes in its title: Building 1 to Building 2, and Gromstul switch station to the data-centre transformer station.
Scope: The title identifies two permitted 132 kV line spans within the same case; not construction, energisation or commissioning.
Event-date scope: Date listed with the licence-granted case status, not source publication, construction, energisation or commissioning

Existing scoped independent review: 2026-10-25T16:32:51.701Z. This is not a new check of present conditions.
Source conditions and limits
This separate page is another scope view of case 202607246, not a distinct project event. Its title identifies permitted line spans; it does not establish that either link was built, energised or commissioned, or that every electrical work or consent is complete. It does not establish current operation, capacity or available compute. Existing project stage, capacity, construction, consent and source clocks remain unchanged.
Source copyright retained; exact basic-fact use assessed only. One minimal attributed case/title fact and ordinary unframed case link only. No source narrative, quotations, attachments, maps, drawings, images, contacts, tables or datasets reproduced or adapted. No open licence, public-domain status, endorsement, blanket domain clearance or recurring-monitoring grant. The earlier inspected NVE open-data notice applies NLOD to api.nve.no data, not automatically this case HTML or attachments. Existing source-use review was read but is not treated as blanket permission; the exact candidate was independently reviewed.
