EdgeConneX Skelleftea Campus Data Center 1GW Sweden
Status: Announced / Site Acquisition & Pre-Development Phase | Location: Torsgatan 122, Bergsbyn, Skellefteå 931 36, Sweden (Exact building coordinates within Lyten Industrial Hub proprietary)
Project Overview
The EdgeConneX Skellefteå Campus is a gigawatt-scale digital infrastructure development planned within the Lyten Industrial Hub, on the former Northvolt site footprint in Bergsbyn near Skellefteå, Sweden. Backed by owner EQT Infrastructure, the project marks EdgeConneX’s strategic entry into the Swedish market and is designed to scale up to 1,000 MW (1 GW) of total capacity. Its focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and hyperscale cloud computing positions the campus to support the growing need for advanced computing infrastructure across Northern Europe. The development’s industrial setting and substantial planned capacity reflect the increasing scale of investment required to accommodate next-generation digital workloads.
The planned 1 GW capacity represents a significant infrastructure ambition, particularly as AI applications require increasingly powerful computing systems and large volumes of data processing. Hyperscale cloud platforms also depend on extensive computing and storage resources to support enterprise applications and digital services. A campus of this scale could provide room for multiple data center facilities and supporting infrastructure to be deployed in stages as demand develops. However, the planned total capacity should not be interpreted as immediately available IT load, and specific details about power allocation, construction phases, cooling systems, and renewable energy arrangements have not been provided.
The project’s location near Skellefteå places the development within an established industrial area in northern Sweden. Reusing the footprint of the former Northvolt site within the Lyten Industrial Hub creates a setting for a new large-scale infrastructure use. Backed by EQT Infrastructure, EdgeConneX is extending its development strategy into a market that could serve cloud and AI demand across Northern Europe. The campus’s ultimate scale will depend on implementation, power infrastructure, and subsequent development phases. If delivered as envisioned, the EdgeConneX Skellefteå Campus would represent a major addition to the region’s digital infrastructure landscape, with its planned 1 GW capacity designed to accommodate the expanding computing requirements of AI, machine learning, and hyperscale cloud services.
