Market profile
Sweden
In Sweden Svenska kraftnät puts data centre electricity use at about 3 TWh today, with 2050 scenarios from 9 to 41 TWh. The Brookfield plan for Strängnäs, up to SEK 95 billion and 750 MW, faced an unresolved power supply question in March 2026.

Overview
In Borlänge, EcoDataCenter is building a campus on a former paper mill site with 250 MW at launch and potential for 600 MW, and Mistral AI will use it from 2027. Microsoft announced SEK 33.7 billion over two years in 2024 for its existing sites at Sandviken, Gävle and Staffanstorp, including about 20,000 GPUs.
Grid context
Svenska kraftnät scenarios for 2050 range widely, which shows how uncertain data centre demand is for grid planning.

Capacity in tracked public coverage
Tracked public coverage, not a national total. Sums of reported, project-level figures from 0 of the 3 published project records we track for Sweden. Each metric and each delivery class is summed on its own and never added to another. Confirmed operating capacity never includes design or ultimate capacity. Delayed projects are never counted as under construction now. Campus and phase figures are not double counted. Ranges and upper bounds are not summed. Unknown values are not counted as zero.
None of the tracked project records for Sweden has a figure that can be summed yet. Figures with an unclear basis and undisclosed values are never added. Each project page lists its reported figures as published. Not disclosed is not zero.
Figures not counted (5) and why
- Brookfield AI data centre campus (Strängnäs)
- Other 750 MW: Basis unclear (not stated as IT, facility, grid or thermal). Never summed.
- Investment up to SEK 95 billion: Upper bound only ("up to"). Not added to totals.
- EcoDataCenter 2 campus (Kvarnsveden, Borlänge)
- Grid connection 250 MW: Marked not summable by research: Power access at launch
- Grid connection up to 600 MW: Upper bound only ("up to"). Not added to totals.
- Microsoft Sweden Central data centres (Gävle, Sandviken, Staffanstorp)
- Investment SEK 33.7 billion: Marked not summable by research: SEK billions over two years, covers more than the data centres
Method: capacity rules. Company-wide investment, area figures and third-party market estimates are never included in these sums.

Capacity, forecasts and market share: Sweden
Every number is shown as published, with its basis, date and source. Figures with different bases (IT power, grid connection, electricity use) or from different sources are never added or blended. Where no figure exists we say not publicly reported. CoolPower makes no forecasts of its own.
