Kalmar County

Kalmar County has two proposed projects in the register. In Hultsfred, the municipal executive committee approved a letter of intent with Magnora Project Infra 2 AB on 1 September 2026 on investigating a data centre at Nyhagen. In Torsås, the executive committee gave SunSpark Nordic AB a positive planning decision on 24 March 2026 for a data centre of about 10,000 square metres at Söderåkra. Neither project has a published power capacity.

The documented decision is item 108 of Hultsfred's executive committee minutes of 1 September 2026, case 2026/208. The minutes say data-centre requests to the municipality have risen sharply over the past 12 to 18 months, with at most five at the same time.

The municipality will not consider a land sale that uses grid capacity until the effects on existing businesses, the project's feasibility and the local benefit are verified. Grid capacity, investment and timetable are not public.

In Torsås, item 74 of the executive committee minutes of 24 March 2026 (case 2026/000064) covers 2.6 hectares of pasture on Övraby 1:98. The minutes describe a business idea that links solar parks, data centres and district heating. In September 2026 the municipality registered new site proposals from the company; they are not published.

Questions for a concrete establishment

  • Does Hultsfred's working committee approve step 1 of the letter of intent?
  • What grid capacity can E.ON offer at Nyhagen, and when?
  • Does a land sale reach the municipal council?
  • Does Torsås sign a plan-cost agreement and start a detailed plan for the SunSpark site?
