Hydro66 delivers 8 MW planned expansion on time and on budget

Boden, Sweden--(Newsfile Corp. - October 18, 2018) - Hydro66 Holdings Corp (CSE: SIX) ("Hydro66" or "the Company"), is pleased to announce the completion of all 8 MW of the H2 2018 expansion project announced on July 31, 2018 on time, on budget and with new customers already occupying the space. Power available to customers in the High Performance Computing ("HPC") enterprise and blockchain colocation data center in Sweden has now expanded from 11.2 MW to 19.2 MW.

"The demand for more efficient ways to process and store data shows no sign of slowing and companies are looking for better ways to save money and scale up in an environmentally sustainable way", says Hydro66 CEO Anne Graf. "Businesses planning for large data projects rely on dependable suppliers and Hydro66 are proud of our track record in bringing the largest colocation data center in the Nordics to market, on time and on budget. Our current site has plenty of room for expansion and when fully built out will provide up to 40 MW of colocation", added Graf.

Hydro66 has been pioneering the message of clean green power at hyperscale. The expansion announced today encompasses 1000 square meters — 8 MW and 400 standard racks - of IT space for HPC apps such as artificial intelligence ("AI"), rendering and blockchain transaction verification services.

Situated on a 40 MW site beside a 120 MW substation in Boden, Sweden, Hydro66 currently has 19.2 MW deployed. The Phase 1 build out of the site is now completed, with groundworks for Phase 2 (up to an additional 21 MW) already at an advanced stage.

The main drivers for companies to move their data into 3^rd party data centers are cost and scalability. HPC application users like the automotive industry, driverless cars, machine-learning, AI, mapping, and weather simulation are attracted to companies like Hydro66 because of grid resilience, green power and an approximate 50% cost reduction compared to legacy data centers.

The client pipeline consists of power intensive enterprise users in a variety of industries. Increasingly this includes hashrate verification companies and HPC solution providers who see great economic and operational potential from tailoring their own solutions via Hydro66 — all while being ready to expand rapidly with short time to market.
