Published 24 Aug 2026 · 3 min read
Satema has been developing and producing electrical distribution solutions for demanding and critical installations since 1963.
The products are used in every corner of society – from temporary installations like construction, festivals, defence, emergency relief and preparedness –
to permanent and critical installations like transport infrastructure, energy infrastructure, aquaculture, hospitals, airports, data centres and more.
This has given Satema deep cross-disciplinary expertise in electrical distribution and mechanical production and positioned the company as a key player in the electrification of society.
Now, its emergency and backup power solution for data centres, Satema SatCon, has been awarded the Made in Norway label.
“The Made in Norway label highlights what is important in the way we work: local value creation, robust quality and solutions developed for demanding Nordic needs. It gives customers a clear signal that SatCon comes from a place where trust and performance matter., Daniel da Silva, Chief Growth Officer, Satema Group”

Operators can count on Satema SatCon
The new Satema SatCon backup power solution is designed for critical installations located in the most demanding Nordic environments. The enclosed solution offers maximum flexibility and reliability and is specially tailored to the data centre market, delivering power that operators can count on when downtime just isn’t an option.
SatCon enables the use of HVO100 biodiesel, a 100 per cent renewable fuel made from waste and residue streams that can cut CO2 emissions by 90 per cent, helping data centre operators to improve resilience while taking a more forward-looking approach to energy management. Operators can also offer flexibility and capacity to the power grid when needed by participating in the flexibility market.
Furthermore, the solution offers the “Conscious Care maintenance programme” which keeps the generators in peak condition and strengthens resilience, while greatly reducing both the total cost of ownership and environmental impact.
“Emergency and backup power should do more than wait for an outage. By combining reliable backup with greater flexibility, we help customers to strengthen both operational resilience and long-term energy efficiency,” says Daniel da Silva, Chief Growth Officer at Satema Group.
Norwegian reliability for a growing data centre market
Satema currently delivers mainly within the Nordic region, with Norway, Sweden and Finland as its primary target markets. Demand for data centres is growing dramatically in these markets, particularly for operating AI learning centres, as the cool Nordic climate and relatively low Nordic power prices are highly attractive.
Data centre operators are also keen to use local suppliers for the delivery of products and services to their data centres in order to contribute to local value creation, while also increasing incentives for local authorities to approve construction.
“In the Nordic data centre market, customers look for suppliers that offer both power reliability and in-depth knowledge of local operating conditions,” da Silva points out.

Emergency power solutions that simply work
For data centre operators, an uninterrupted power supply is not a nice-to-have, it is critical for uptime, continuity and trust. SatCon enables data centres to establish customised emergency power solutions to keep electricity flowing should the grid fail.
Satema combines solid craftsmanship and modern innovation. It has a unique position in its field, with knowledge and experience within emergency and backup power, electrical distribution, mechanical manufacturing, and service.
“We develop and manufacture our products in Norway to operate in harsh Norwegian conditions. Our customers demand quality, reliability and flexibility, which sets a high bar for us. So, we ensure that our solutions last and that everything simply works,” concludes da Silva.
