How?
Every project begins with the customer’s needs. Plot layouts and facilities are designed entirely around your operational and business objectives.
Development is carried out responsibly. The area offers opportunities to utilize waste heat from Microsoft’s data centre for carbon-neutral district heating as well as site-specific geothermal energy solutions.
Energy-efficient and renewable solutions can help reduce operating costs and emissions. Project-specific planning may include geothermal heating, energy-efficient building systems, and energy consumption monitoring. Final solutions and their estimated impacts are defined individually for each project.
According to information received from Fortum in June 2026, the Kolabacken heat pump facility commenced operations in May 2026. Heat production is expected to increase further when the phased recovery of waste heat from Microsoft’s data centre begins in 2027.
Potential Use of Data Centre Byproduct Heat for District Heating
Major technology operators, including Microsoft’s data centre and Fortum’s heat pump facility, are located in the West 51 area. This creates valuable opportunities for cooperation and synergies between technology-focused businesses.
Fortum’s heat pump facility has the capability to utilize surplus heat generated by Microsoft’s data centre and convert it into emission-free district heating.
Currently, the facility produces district heating using heat pumps that capture thermal energy from outdoor air together with electric boilers. According to Fortum, the phased recovery of waste heat from Microsoft’s data centre is planned to begin during 2027.
Recycling waste heat has significant climate benefits. Together with modern heat pump technology, the waste heat generated by a large-scale data centre can provide a substantial share of the area’s district heating demand, supporting future production and commercial facilities developed within West 51.
The utilization of data centre waste heat through heat pump technology can reduce the need for separate district heating generation. The information presented is based on project information received from Fortum in June 2026. Implementation schedules, geographical coverage, and estimated impacts may evolve as the project progresses.
