Successful SweDCI Members' Meeting at ABB Facility in Västerås
On September 24th, SweDCI hosted a highly engaging members' meeting at ABB's facility in Västerås. Over 30 representatives from member organizations gathered for the first meeting of the fall season, combining industry insights with opportunities for collaboration.
The day kicked off with an exclusive factory tour of ABB's Västerås site, setting the stage for a productive session. ABB welcomed participants with an introduction to the company, followed by a presentation outlining SweDCI's recent activities. Updates from various working groups on ongoing projects also provided attendees with valuable information on the organization's current initiatives.
A highlight of the event was a presentation by Big Science Sweden, which focused on helping members access procurement opportunities with major research facilities around the globe. SweDCI pledged its support in guiding members through the process, ensuring they have the necessary tools to participate.
Additionally, Cirio delivered a compelling session on navigating contracts within the industry, covering best practices for working with suppliers, partners, and customers. This topic will be explored further in an upcoming project, with Cirio set to provide additional insights in the near future.
Status of Sweden and Reporting for Data Centers According to EED
The government has now released a memorandum for consultation where reporting for data centers is addressed.
The Swedish Energy Agency has also published information related to this.
Since reporting must be conducted through the respective member state and legislation needs to be in place, Swedish operators will not be able to report until then.
You can find the Swedish Energy Agency's news and the draft legislation here:
Nya krav på rapportering för datacenter (energimyndigheten.se)
Hållbarhetskriterier för vissa bränslen och en ny reduktionsplikt - Regeringen.se
The legislative changes are proposed to come into effect on July 1, 2025, and responses to the consultation must be submitted to the Ministry of Climate and Enterprise by November 12, 2024.
We thank both the Government Offices and the Swedish Energy Agency for their good cooperation so far.

The
Nordic Data Center Week
First annual Nordic Data Center Week was held between the 23 and 27 September. A week filled with activities in the Nordics countries focusing on data centers, AI, digitalization, and the green transition.
During the week, the industry focused on explaining how data centers, AI, and the green transition are interconnected, and why it is important for all of us in our daily lives. In various cities, the local community is invited to an open dialogue about the role of data centers in society and the green transition.In Sweden we contributed with 17 different activities all around our country. From Rise in Luleå in the north to ReDI School and Microsoft in Malmö in the South. Conapto and Equinix arranged open house in their datacenters and different schools held datacenter-oriented workshops.We showcased our contributions to society and raised awareness of the industry. In recent years, perceptions of data centers have shifted, and as an organization, we are excited to lead the way in reshaping these views in a positive direction.
As this was the first annual Nordic Data Center Week, and we had such a great involvement from all our members in all Nordic countries we are looking forward to the Nordic Data Center Week 2025 with great expectations.
