Project
Built for AI and HPC workloads
Skive Data Center sits in western Denmark, inside GreenLab — Denmark’s national-designated industrial park for energy-intense industries.
Land secured: 8.2 hectares plus a 4.2-hectare adjacent expansion plot, on a 30-year lease.
Power secured: a 135 MW dual-fed substation with 84 MW of directly connected wind and solar through a 10-year PPA.
Phase 1 delivers up to 100 MW of IT load on the secured plot, with phased intake from 6 MW. Long-term capacity reservation across the broader site extends beyond 300 MW.
Designed to Tier III standard. Engineered for high-density AI and HPC — 10 to 150 kW per rack — with a phased delivery model that scales with tenant demand.

The differentiator
Inside GreenLab — an energy park built for industries like yours
GreenLab is Denmark’s national green industrial park, operational since 2019. Majority-owned by Norlys — Denmark’s largest energy and telecom group, with 800,000 members and 4,500 staff — alongside Skive Municipality and regional foundations as minority holders.
Activated as an official Danish regulatory test zone in 2021. Selected as a National Industrial Park under the Danish government’s Red/Green framework. Sector-coupled energy infrastructure — directly connected renewables, 44 MWh of battery storage, district heating integration, and flexibility services — colocated with the load.
€400M in committed regional capital. Over DKK 3 billion in investments attracted to the park to date.
Why it matters
Grid access, solved
Skive sits on a private renewable microgrid, the only one of its kind in a Danish industrial park. Power is contracted, not queued.
Why it matters
Energy, on-site
Direct connection to the 84 MW Eurowind wind and solar park (13 turbines plus 26 MW solar). 44 MWh of park-level battery storage. Energy flows through GreenLab’s SymbiosisNet — a live intelligent platform for real-time energy sharing between tenants.
Why it matters
Regulatory flexibility
Test-zone status enables direct PPAs and grid configurations not available on the general Danish grid. Fast-track permitting under the National Industrial Park framework.

Speed to power
First 25 MW operational Q3 2027
CA has committed to a 25 MW speculative build — proceeding with or without a contracted anchor tenant. After Phase 1 commissioning, additional 25 MW increments deliver in step with tenant demand.
Most European hubs are facing 7–10 year grid connection lead times for new 50 MW data centers. Skive flips that — power is contracted, the build is committed, the construction methodology is proven, and 60 MVA is available today.

Cost
Among Europe's lowest total cost of electricity
GreenLab Skive’s all-in electricity cost — wholesale + transmission & distribution + tax — is meaningfully below the major European data center hubs.
Source: internal analysis of wholesale + T&D + tax. Skive’s price has further downside through peak shaving and heat recovery income.
Cooling & density
Built for high-density AI workloads
Liquid
DLC-ready
Coolant distribution infrastructure designed in from day one. Ring-fed DLC supported by Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs). Supports direct-to-chip and rear-door heat exchanger deployments. Suitable for current and next-generation GPU densities.
Air
Air-cooled option
High-efficiency air-based cooling in ring topology, up to 3 MW per IT hall. Available for lower-density or mixed workloads. Hybrid deployments supported within and across data halls.
Facility

| Heat reuse Sold to local district heating and biogas plant — lowering ERE and creating revenue | EU-ready Designed to meet EED Annex VII / Commission reporting framework |
GreenLab is more than a green branding choice. The park is a live circular industrial cluster — Denmark’s only industrial park with its own private renewable microgrid — operated by institutional, investment-grade owners with proven ability to attract energy-intensive tenants.
Commercial model
The shell is ours. The fit-out is yours.
A turnkey power shell means we deliver the site, building envelope, power, cooling plant, and connectivity. The tenant designs and operates the IT fit-out.
Rack density, hall allocation, redundancy, cooling mix, and energy contracting are tailored per tenant. Build-to-suit available for 25 MW+ commitments. Long-term lease structures (10–15+ years) with take-or-pay on reserved capacity. Energy passed through at cost.
We build the shell around your workload — not the other way around.
