As facilities scale, data centers are increasingly under scrutiny from key stakeholders. Under the constraints of resource use and public perception, operators must demonstrate how infrastructure investment can deliver shared value while remaining adaptable to future workload demand. In this episode, we assess how Conapto has approached this challenge through smarter facility design across its Stockholm projects. Key to the development of new facilities is the principle of ‘The Friendly Neighbour’, a commitment that balances community integration and regulatory compliance, while maintaining the flexibility required for next-generation workloads. This episode will explore:

  • Powering data centers with clean, fossil-free energy while maintaining compliance with evolving EU regulations
  • How Conapto has integrated into more than 3000km of district heating networks and built long-term heat-reuse partnerships
  • The role of fast frequency response in supporting the national grid and strengthening overall energy resilience
  • Designing facilities that can adapt to future workload requirements, including readiness for the NVIDIA roadmap
