Construction firm ByggPartner has secured a 650 million kronor ($72 million) contract from EcoDataCenter to build a new data center in the city of Falun. The partners have collaborated on data center projects using massive timber construction since 2017.

With fresh capital from owner Areim, EcoDataCenter is pushing ahead with this major new data center spanning approximately 35,000 square meters. The project represents one of Sweden’s largest investments in the booming data center industry.

“We’re building one of Sweden’s most exciting companies in this new core industry. Our leading platform has attracted partnerships with global leaders, reinforcing investor confidence in us,” stated EcoDataCenter CEO Peter Michelson.

Long-standing partnership driving innovation

ByggPartner, part of the ByggPartnerGroup, was selected for the construction role continuing the companies’ partnership dating back to 2017.

“With EcoDataCenter, we have a client always striving to push boundaries on what’s possible. We’ve learned a tremendous amount from each other on this journey and feel immense pride in the collaboration,” said ByggPartner CEO Johan Karlsson.

The Falun data center project aims to showcase Swedish sustainable innovation by using cutting-edge timber construction coupled with energy-efficient data center design and operations. Its completion will mark a significant milestone for both ByggPartner and EcoDataCenter in meeting soaring data storage demands.
