Sollefteå, Sweden - February 23, 2026 - atNorth announced plans to build a 300-megawatt high-density data center campus in the Sollefteå municipality, expanding sustainable infrastructure capacity for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing in Sweden.
The facility will be located at Hamre Industrial Park in the Långsele area on a site of roughly 50 hectares and is scheduled to enter operation in the first half of 2028, according to the company’s official press release.
The planned campus will support both build-to-suit and colocation deployments and is designed to accommodate rapidly increasing demand for high-density compute. The company said the location was selected because it offers available grid capacity, access to renewable power, and favorable conditions for efficient construction and long-term operation.
Chief executive Eyjólfur Magnús Kristinsson said the project addresses accelerating growth in advanced compute workloads while maintaining the company’s focus on sustainable infrastructure development.
The data center will be constructed using a modular design approach, allowing phased deployment aligned with customer demand. atNorth added that the site is intended to support hyperscale and enterprise customers requiring large-scale processing capacity for AI and data-intensive applications.
As part of the development, the company plans to establish heat-reuse collaborations to capture excess thermal energy generated by the facility and repurpose it for local community use. The initiative aims to integrate the campus into regional energy systems while reducing environmental impact.
Local representatives said the investment strengthens Sollefteå’s role in the digital infrastructure sector and supports regional economic development.
The announcement forms part of atNorth’s broader Nordic expansion strategy, as operators increasingly deploy high-density compute in regions offering renewable energy availability and infrastructure readiness. The company currently operates multiple facilities across the Nordics and continues to scale capacity to meet growing demand from cloud and AI customers.
The Sollefteå development represents one of the operator’s largest planned projects and highlights continued investment in sustainable, large-scale data center infrastructure designed for next-generation computing workloads.
