Bloomberg reported in October 2026, citing people close to the project and public records, that Nscale's flagship AI data center in Glomfjord, Norway was running about six months behind schedule amid construction delays, cooling-system leaks, and a transformer fire. Nscale had not confirmed the report at publication; a source familiar with the project later told DCD the fire occurred in December 2025 and destroyed switchgear but caused no delay. This record is unverified: the fire's date, cause, and extent have not been officially confirmed.
