Fossefall signs grid connection agreement with Vattenfall Eldistribution for 65 MW in Jokkmokk

Fossefall said on 10 November 2026 that it has signed a grid connection agreement with Vattenfall Eldistribution AB securing 65 MW for a planned AI factory in Jokkmokk, with the potential for a further 135 MW. Construction is expected to start in the second quarter of 2027, subject to a final investment decision.

According to Fossefall, the agreement with Vattenfall Eldistribution AB secures 65 MW of grid capacity for the project. There is the potential for an additional 135 MW, which would bring the total to 200 MW.

Under the agreement Vattenfall Eldistribution will carry out the grid works needed to connect the facility. Fossefall says it will invest in the grid connection.

The company says it is working towards a final investment decision and that construction is expected to start in the second quarter of 2027. Fossefall plans to build the facility and to own and operate the GPUs in it.

The site covers 350,000 square metres, is planned for industrial use and lies in bidding area SE1. The project is to be developed in phases according to available grid capacity, permits and market conditions.

In May 2026 Fossefall described the Jokkmokk platform as planned for up to 200 MW, with an initial phase of about 45 MW. The register now has a project entry for Fossefall Jokkmokk. The 65 MW is recorded as contracted grid capacity according to the company, not as IT load.

Why it matters

A signed connection agreement with the network owner is the step that turns a planned site into one with a stated grid capacity. In May the register stored the Jokkmokk figures as planned capacity only, without a project entry, because no grid agreement had been published.

What remains unknown

Fossefall does not state when the 65 MW becomes available, what conditions apply to the further 135 MW, or the investment amount. The exact property, the detailed plan and any environmental permitting are not named. Vattenfall Eldistribution has not published its own notice in the sources checked.
