Planning and grid
The notice and a quoted municipal chair say the site is fully zoned and prepared. That wording is not treated here as a reviewed detaljplan file. Permit status is not verified in this register.
On 28 May 2026, Sollefteå municipality reported that E.ON and atNorth had signed a 200 MW connection agreement for Långsele, with operation planned for autumn 2028. This is a public report of a project-specific agreement; the underlying contract has not been reviewed here. It does not establish available power for neighbouring land. On 3 November 2026 Enersense said E.ON Energidistribution had contracted it to build two new 130 kV overhead lines, each about 2.5 kilometres, between the Hamre and Nässe substations, linked to atNorth's planned campus; work starts in November 2026 and is due to be completed in March 2029.

Knowledge gaps
- “Fully zoned” is operator and municipal-chair wording, not a reviewed detaljplan extract.
- Construction status beyond the development announcement is not independently verified here.
- The municipality reports a signed connection agreement; the contract, conditions and energisation milestones have not been reviewed.
- The Hamre–Nässe line contract is due for completion in March 2029, later than the operating dates of H1 2028 (atNorth) and autumn 2028 (E.ON) given earlier; whether power can be delivered before then is not public.
- Heat reuse: on 4 November 2026 atNorth and Calentix published a project development agreement for heat recovery to the Långsele district heating network (Adven), 1.6 MW in the first phase with potential for about 20 MW, first delivery targeted for Q2 2029.
