Hylte

On 21 October 2026 Hylte's community-development committee granted a building permit for a data centre on Västra Åkralt 1:80 in Hyltebruk, between national road 26 and Gamla Nissastigen (item 91, case 2026 SBN0103), and a permit for a control building with an outdoor switchyard and two large transformer stations that is to supply it (item 90, case 2026 SBN0102). The applicant states an installed IT capacity of about 60 MW. On 12 November 2026 the municipality stated that the permit holder is Magnora Data Center AB with subsidiaries, that the grid installation is being designed with the regional network owner E.ON and that no investment decision has been taken.

The main building has a building area of about 14,000 square metres and a ridge height of 12 metres. Outside it are 48 EPOD units with a total building area of about 2,928 square metres, each with a container holding a diesel engine and a generator for backup power. Cooling is by 40 roof-mounted free-cooling units behind acoustic screens.

The property is covered by detailed plan Hyltebruk 618, in legal force since 20 July 2023, for industry and business use. A gas pipeline crosses the area; Nordion Energi saw no obstacle to the project in its consultation response. The minutes do not name the applicant, the network owner or a connection date.

Questions for a concrete establishment

  • With what capacity and from when will E.ON connect the receiving station, and when is the network concession applied for?
  • Have the permits gained legal force, and when is a start notice issued?
  • Is this the 60 MW SE4 project Magnora Data Center describes as its first Swedish project?
