Cleantech Green data

Like all Apple data centres – including the one in Viborg - the Aabenraa facility will be supplied with 100% renewable energy from day one. Apple further announces their commitment to develop additional renewable resources that do not require public subsidies and will thereby contribute to Denmark achieving its renewable energy goals.

The investment success is based on several years of seamless corporation between local and national authorities; the Municipality of Aabenraa, Investment Partnership West Denmark (FVI) and Invest in Denmark (Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

With the latest data centre investments from Apple and Facebook and Google’s purchase of a land plot, Denmark is undeniably in the spotlight of the world’s biggest tech players, and in particular the three top ranking green tech profiles according to the Greenpeace 'Clicking Clean' 2017 report.

Denmark is becoming Northern Europe’s hub for data centres with a high prospective for growth for the tracking industries delivering solutions to the many data centres sprouting up all over the world.

Selected cases Apple, Facebook and Google choose Denmark

In recent years, several of the world’s large tech companies have decided to establish large data centres in Denmark due to the attractive framework conditions and the excellent opportunities to pursue cutting-edge green solutions.

In 2015, Apple announced its plans to build one of the world’s largest data centres in Viborg and now a second data centre will become a reality in Aabenraa.
 
In the meantime, Facebook announced in 2017 that it is working on a data centre near Odense, just as Google has confirmed that it has acquired land to be able to construct a data centre near Fredericia and Aabenraa.
