Our mission
Imagine a place where the energy is green and excess data center heat isn’t wasted. Imagine Stockholm.
Stockholm Data Parks is an initiative by the City of Stockholm, district heating and cooling provider Stockholm Exergi, power grid operator Ellevio and dark fiber provider Stokab.
Our vision is a data center industry where no heat is wasted. We see data center excess heat as a valuable resource that can be part of fighting climate change. The City’s objective is to be entirely fossil fuel free by 2040, and we invite data centers to play a key role in this transition.
To make it happen, we target to make Stockholm an attractive hub for large data centers which employ heat recovery. We do it by bringing together, preparing and offering all the necessary infrastructure elements at attractive greenfield sites and sites for conversion suited for data center activity.
We believe it’s a win-win where the data center industry can reach the next level of cost efficiency and sustainability and at the same time be part of the City’s transition to a fully sustainable energy system.
