Halland County

Halland is a west-coast county in bidding area SE4 with three data-centre files in the register. GleSYS operates a hall in Falkenberg: a 1 October 2020 press statement said heat delivery to Falkenberg Energi had started and that utility power at completion was 3 MW, and a later operator page states 5 MW total capacity; those rows stay separate. In Halmstad, the municipal executive committee's community-development committee on 22 September 2026 backed a letter of intent with Kistinge Infrastruktur AB, a subsidiary of Therma Loop AB, on a proposed data centre at Kistinge that requires at least 10 MW of connected power. In Hylte, the community-development committee on 21 October 2026 granted building permits for a data centre on Västra Åkralt 1:80 in Hyltebruk, designed according to the applicant for about 60 MW of IT capacity; Sveriges Radio names the applicant as Magnora Data Center. County-level spare megawatts are not published.

Halmstad is the newer file. The officer's report of 1 September 2026 (case KS 2026/00451) covers the municipal property Fyllinge 20:432, 13,531 square metres with a detailed plan for industrial use. The letter of intent lets the company investigate until 30 April 2027; the data centre needs at least 10 MW of connected power, and waste heat is to go to the district-heating network of Halmstads Energi och Miljö AB. It is a proposed project, not a hall in operation.

Read Falkenberg first, then the two dated GleSYS rows, then SE4. The 2020 release is the dated delivery-start claim for heat. The later operator page is a later capacity sentence. Energimarknadsinspektionen places the county in SE4. That price area is shared with Staffanstorp in Skåne; the two projects are not one west-and-south campus. No other operating Halland hall is published in this register.

A west-coast hall still needs a municipal plan, a building permit path, and a network-owner answer. Falkenberg Energi is named as the heat counterpart in 2020 and is a municipally owned energy company in that notice. That names a heat buyer. It does not, by itself, publish a multi-year measured delivery ledger. Svenska kraftnät’s map, if used, remains indicative transmission information and does not replace the local or regional application.

The 2020 release listed Kanslistvägen 12, a 4,000 square-metre facility completed around 2019–2020, utility power of 3 MW, and the start of district-heat supply on 1 October 2020. It also used potential wording — heat that “may amount to as much as” an annual figure and a potential number of residential buildings. Those potentials are not stored here as measured megawatt-hours. The later operator page states 5 MW total capacity, renewable electricity, and district-heat recovery. Whether 5 MW superseded 3 MW through expansion is not explained on the cited pages. Keep both rows.

Common misreads: replacing 3 MW silently with 5 MW; treating the 2020 potential annual heat sentence as delivered energy; treating SE4 as a connection refusal; adding Falkenberg to a Stockholm heat-reuse total; inventing a second Halland campus. GPU-density or rack-density claims on an operator page are design limits unless occupied load is stated.

Ask what measured heat volume is public after 2020. Ask how the current 5 MW operator figure relates to the 2020 3 MW utility-power figure. Ask which carriers are independently diverse at the site. Ask which municipal documents cover Kanslistvägen. Ask whether any later primary source explains the 3-to-5 change.

SE4 membership is shared with Staffanstorp and does not merge the two files. A west-coast price hour is not a Falkenberg connection answer. Stockholm Data Parks is an invitation in another county; it does not measure Kanslistvägen. EcoDataCenter’s Falun heat language belongs to Dalarna. The only dated delivery start in this county file is 1 October 2020. Later operator copy that repeats district-heat recovery without a new date does not create a second start.

Keep the two megawatt rows visible on every Halland slide. 3 MW utility power is the 2020 completion wording. 5 MW total capacity is later operator wording. The cited pages do not explain the change. Adding them, replacing them silently, or treating either as residual county capacity leaves the primary sources. Unknown measured heat after 2020 stays unknown.

This county brief proves that Halland, in this register, has one operating GleSYS file with a dated heat-delivery start and two dated megawatt rows, plus one proposed project in Halmstad. It does not prove residual west-coast grid capacity and does not convert potential 2020 heat wording into a measured annual volume.

Questions for a concrete establishment

• How does the current 5 MW operator figure relate to the 3 MW utility-power figure in the 2020 press release?
• What share of heat is actually delivered after 1 October 2020, not only designed or described as potential?
• Which carriers are independently diverse at the site?
• Which municipal planning documents cover Kanslistvägen 12?
• Is Falkenberg being added into a Stockholm Exergi heat story without a Stockholm delivery date?
• Is SE4 membership being treated as a connection answer for the hall?
• Which network owner connects the receiving station for the Hylte data centre, and when?
