Planning and grid
The property has a detailed plan for industrial use. Letter of intent backed by the community-development committee on 22 September 2026 (case KS 2026/00451); it is conditional on a decision that gains legal force. The company is to say before 30 April 2027 whether it wants to buy the land; otherwise the letter lapses. The next step would be a reservation agreement.
The officer's report says the energy companies must be able to deliver at least 10 MW of connected power to the data centre. No grid company, connection agreement or connection date is named. A HEM presentation mentions a first phase of 10 MW for a "small data centre Fyllinge", possible to double when more power is available.
