EcoDataCenter Breaks Ground on Borlänge Facility
September 25, 2025
EcoDataCenter (EcoDC AB)
EcoDataCenter has bought 20 hectares of former papermill land in Borlänge, Sweden for SEK 400 million ($39m). The company has started construction on the site and plans to build up to nine data center buildings on the site, aiming to have the first facilities operational by 2027.
Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt had ambitious plans to convert the Kvarnsveden Mill in Borlänge into a battery cell production facility. Having acquired the site in 2022, the company initially targeted a 2024 production start. However, the project faced setbacks. First, Northvolt announced a delay, pushing the timeline to 2026-2027. Then, in July, the company made the decision to abandon the project entirely and put the land up for sale.
The Borlänge municipality acquired the site and has sold around a third of the 60 hectares to EcoDataCenter. Borlänge is around 20km away from Falun, where EcoDataCenter has a data center.
