Questions before you invest
Where should I start looking for a site in Sweden?
Start with the workload, initial and ultimate power requirement, connectivity needs and target date. Use regional profiles and public planning documents to identify research leads, then request site-specific evidence from the owner, municipality and relevant network operator.
Explore the screening method →Are the projects in the tracker available for investment?
The tracker documents publicly sourced projects. It does not establish that a facility, company or capacity is being offered. DataCenterSweden does not yet publish owner-authorised commercial listings; confirm any opportunity directly with its authorised representative.
Read about site discovery →Can a grid map show how much power a site can get?
It can inform early screening. A capacity figure must still be checked for network level, location, date and conditions. A site needs a connection assessment from the relevant network owner before its power and timing can be treated as a project commitment.
Understand grid capacity →How can I find local expertise or contribute?
Use the expertise guide to identify the roles your project needs. You can describe a need for specialist input or propose a sourced article, case study or technical review. Any introduction, public profile or commercial engagement is discussed separately.
