en.Wedoany.com Reported - Finnish energy company Fortum has signed a five-year agreement with Swedish digital infrastructure company EcoDataCenter to supply 10MW of low-carbon electricity and Guarantees of Origin from a group of hydropower plants along the Dalälven River to the latter's data center in Falun, Sweden.

The agreement commenced in January 2026 and will run until the end of 2030. Fortum will also provide physical power supply and balancing responsibility for EcoDataCenter's operations at the site. The Falun facility hosts high-performance computing capacity being built by CoreWeave, which describes itself as "the Essential Cloud™ for AI." The agreement directly links part of EcoDataCenter's electricity demand to local hydropower. Fortum owns, co-owns, and operates 39 hydropower plants along the Dalälven River, while the Falun site is EcoDataCenter's first operational facility. EcoDataCenter CEO Peter Michelson stated that the company's deep roots in Dalarna County and close cooperation with local power producers are key to driving growth for both parties and the industry, citing Fortum's direct supply of electricity from the Dalälven to the Falun facility as an example. Fortum noted that the agreement aligns with its strategy to provide low-carbon electricity to industrial customers, support decarbonization in the Nordic region, and sees growth opportunities in demand from the data center power supply sector. Simon-Erik Ollus, Executive Vice President of Corporate Customers and Markets at Fortum, pointed out that data centers are an important and rapidly expanding industry in Sweden, and the company's strong local presence in Dalarna County through hydropower represents a significant first step in this sector in Sweden.
