Fossefall secures grid capacity for AI factory in Jokkmokk
Fossefall has signed a Grid Connection Agreement (GCA) with Vattenfall Eldistribution AB for the development of a large-scale sovereign AI factory in Jokkmokk, Sweden.
The agreement secures 65 MW of grid capacity for the project, with the potential for an additional 135 MW, bringing the total capacity to 200 MW.
As part of the agreement, Vattenfall Eldistribution will carry out the grid infrastructure works required to connect the Jokkmokk project to the power grid. Fossefall will invest in this critical infrastructure to support the development and operation of the project.
The company is working towards a Final Investment Decision (FID), with construction expected to start in the second quarter of 2027.
We are pleased to have signed this agreement with Vattenfall Eldistribution. It marks an important first step for Fossefall in Sweden. In Jokkmokk, we aim to build an AI factory that creates local value, strengthens security and keeps critical infrastructure under European control.
Unlike traditional data center developers, Fossefall will not only build the facilities but also own and operate the GPUs that provide the computing power for artificial intelligence (AI). This will create more jobs and more value locally, while keeping critical infrastructure under European ownership and control.
The 350,000-square-metre site is regulated for industrial use and located in Sweden’s northernmost electricity bidding zone, SE1. The project will be developed in phases, in line with grid capacity, permits and market conditions.
