EcoDataCenter Announces New Mega Campus
EcoDataCenter have acquired parts of a former papermill plant in Borlänge, Sweden. The site, spanning over 20 acres, will have at least 240MW power capacity. A milestone in EcoDataCenter's expansion journey, which, together with the previous establishment of data centers in nearby Falun, turns the region into a powerhouse for European AI infrastructure.
The surge in demand for AI capabilities has positioned the Nordics as one of the most favorable regions globally for deploying high-performance compute solutions. Advanced engineering capabilities together with availability of land and power, has been instrumental in driving this growth. EcoDataCenter's acquisition of the Borlänge site reflects its strategic response to this demand surge.
“We are currently establishing a leading company designing AI infrastructure and data centers. Our services and expertise are highly sought after in the market. Borlänge is a very important asset for us to meet the market demand and continue to scale the company.” Says Peter Michelson, CEO of EcoDataCenter,
The new site will significantly enhance EcoDataCenter's clients' ability to scale, given its strategic location near the company's initial establishment in Falun and adding significant capacity 240MW+. Construction will commence as soon as the necessary permits are secured, with the aim of having the first data centers ready by 2027. The proximity to the existing site will allow EcoDataCenter to leverage its established partner ecosystem ensuring local job opportunities.
“This location is perfect for us. We can use the same partner ecosystem as we have established in the region as well as connect the two sites, giving clients the potential to build some of the world’s biggest compute clusters.” Says Peter Michelson, CEO of EcoDataCenter,
EcoDataCenter remains committed to advancing the capabilities of a responsible AI infrastructure, and the development of the Borlänge mega campus represents a significant milestone in its journey. The company looks forward to the opportunities this new site will bring to its clients while enhancing Swedens AI infrastructure capabilities.
The political majority in Borlänge supports the agreements signed today between Borlänge Municipality and EcoDataCenter. These agreements require approval from the municipal council, which will be decided at the next meeting on Tuesday, September 10th.
