NorthC has activated the temporary, redundant power supply and cooling systems at its data center in the Dutch town of Almere at 9:30 AM this morning.

At the same time, the investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing.

Although NorthC expected on Friday to be able to restore power to its own facility in Almere this afternoon, that turned out to be premature. The operator now expects to have a "temporary, redundant power supply" available on Wednesday, May 13, at 12:00 p.m. Customers will then be able to power on their IT systems in a controlled manner. "Unfortunately, this means another delay," NorthC acknowledges.

The restoration operation involves a large number of generators, UPS systems, and distribution panels, and also laying over a kilometer of cable, making the entire operation complex.

People's initial reaction was fear. After all, we've been living in close friendship with our American neighbors here for 80 years. They feel at home here, far from their homeland. The Americans are integrated into our social life, in soccer and music clubs. Many even stay here after they retire.
