The investment
atNorth is developing its SWE04 data-centre campus at Hamre Industrial Park in Långsele, Sollefteå Municipality. The project comprises a 300 MW campus on a 50-hectare site designed for AI, high-performance computing, cloud, and enterprise workloads. The facility is planned to use renewable energy, direct liquid cooling, and heat-recovery solutions. Key milestones achieved so far include the signing of a land purchase agreement, a legally approved detailed development plan, an approved groundwork permit and a 200 MW grid-connection agreement with E.ON.
Future growth plans
atNorth plans to continue developing the SWE04 campus towards operational readiness. Publicly stated next steps include permitting, environmental reviews, engineering work, and grid infrastructure development. The company has identified 300 MW of planned capacity for the site and states that additional power capacity may be secured in the future.
