Swedish investment company Claesson & Anderzén Group (CA Group) has signed an agreement to establish a flexible AI data center of up to 100 MW IT load at GreenLab’s green industrial park in Skive, Denmark. The project represents a billion-scale investment and is expected to be fully operational in 2027.
According to GreenLab and CA Group, the data center will be integrated into GreenLab’s energy system and industrial symbiosis. Designed as an active part of both the local and national energy system, the facility combines large-scale digital infrastructure with energy flexibility, sector coupling, and renewable power from wind and solar, supported by a national grid connection.
Thomas Helsgaun, CEO of GreenLab, said: “The project represents the realisation of GreenLab’s original ambition, and it is a major step forward in accelerating the green transition in digital infrastructure. Our goal has always been to be able to integrate large energy users into our green industrial park and reduce strain on the power grid – and the scale of this project highlights the strategic importance of industrial symbioses and microgrids when building the energy system of the future.”
Data centers are increasingly being designed to move beyond a traditional role as passive electricity users. The planned CA Group facility reflects this shift, with an active approach to how digital infrastructure can interact with the energy system. Through its integration with GreenLab’s industrial symbiosis, SymbiosisNet™, the data center is expected to support energy balance and flexibility, enable surplus heat reuse where relevant, and provide grid services through hybrid backup and storage solutions.
Henrik Hansen, CEO of the Danish Data Center Industry, comments: “This project shows the value of approaching digital infrastructure with a long-term perspective. When data centers are developed in close interaction with energy systems, industrial partners, and local communities, it strengthens resilience, flexibility, and the ability to retain control over critical digital infrastructure as demand continues to grow.”
The planned facility will comprise a 45,000 m² two-story building and is expected to create approximately 30 full-time positions on site.
