EcoDataCenter has acquired parts of a former papermill plant in Borlänge, Sweden. The site, spanning over 20 acres, will have at least 240MW power capacity.
“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.
Just a week ago EcoDataCenter's announced the establishment of data centers in nearby Falun. EcoDataCenter's acquisition of the Borlänge site reflects its strategic response to the AI demand surge. Construction will commence as soon as the necessary permits are secured, with the aim of having the first data centers ready by 2027. 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.
“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.
