The collaboration between OneCo and Green Mountain began back in 2011 when OneCo was chosen to supply automation, electrical and high-voltage services for the DC1 Rennesøy development. Automation is supplied by the technology company OneCo Technologies AS. Automation delivers management and control systems to Green Mountain. Reporting systems, SCADA, data collection, PLC control and monitoring of critical process sections such as cooling, power supply, backup power such as UPS/emergency power units.
