New announcements underline Denmark's position as a leading country for green datacenter investments
facebook's and google's new investment plans
Facebook has once again chosen Denmark for a substantial investment. Facebook has signed an agreement to purchase 212 acres of land in Andrup close to the city of Esbjerg in Southwest Jutland with the intention of building a datacentre. In total, the Andrup site corresponds to an astonishing size of 300 football fields.
"I am very happy that Facebook is back in Esbjerg and is now again investigating the possibilities of establishing a datacenter in Andrup. The signing of the purchase contract is just the first milestone in this process."
“The professional, close cooperation between Business Esbjerg, Esbjerg Municipality, Invest in Denmark and Din Forsyning has again proved crucial to our success in attracting such large investments.”
We are proud and happy that Google has chosen to get involved in Fredericia. With the purchase of the additional land, Google is buying into more options here in the future, and that is extremely positive. And of course a statement that Google wants to invest in Fredericia.
