The expansion includes the deployment of 20,000 advanced GPUs to support high-density AI workloads. This region, spanning Gävle, Sandviken, and Staffanstorp, is one of Microsoft’s most sustainable globally, operating on 100% carbon-free energy through a partnership with Vattenfall. The facilities use free-air cooling and were the first Microsoft data centers to use renewable backup power, aligning with Sweden’s position as a leader in green digital infrastructure.
