EdgeConneX Plans 1GW Data Center Campus in Sweden

Mar 2, 2026
EdgeConneX has announced plans to develop a data center campus in Skellefteå, Sweden, with a potential capacity of up to one gigawatt. The facility will support AI and cloud workloads and be primarily powered by renewable energy.

EdgeConneX plans to enter the Swedish market with a new data center campus in Skellefteå, announced in a press release. The site will be acquired from Lyten and is part of the company’s broader strategy to expand digital infrastructure capacity across the Nordics.

The proposed facility could reach up to one gigawatt of capacity and will primarily be powered by renewable energy. It is intended to support future AI and cloud computing workloads, making it one of the largest data center projects in Europe once completed.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
