Strategic Partnership

"Gazprom Neft" together with Bitriver are implementing projects to develop energy-intensive data centers (DCs) at oil fields. Associated gas is used by gas-piston power plants that supply energy to the data centers, thereby contributing to the environmentally friendly utilization of associated petroleum gas (APG) and methane.

The combined capacity of the joint projects is approximately 12 MW.

Bitriver collaborates with EN+ Group, a global leader in low-carbon aluminum production and renewable energy, and the largest private energy holding in the world (with 4 hydropower plants with a combined capacity of 15 GW).
