Lule\u00e5 Data Center, Sweden<\/p><\/div>\n

Odense, Denmark<\/strong>\u2014Facebook<\/a> has recently unveiled plans for a new 1.9 million-square-foot data center facility in Odense, Denmark\u2019s third-largest city. The complex, consisting of three server halls, will store and manage the social media giant\u2019s growing user data, including photos and videos, local Danish news website Fyens<\/a><\/em> reports.<\/p>\n

The hub will be built in Odense\u2019s Tietgenbyen industrial area on a 124-acre parcel, and the development is set to be led by Mace<\/a>, a British consultancy and construction company. Cassin Networks Aps, owned by Facebook, purchased the development site for $10 million from the municipality of Odense, the website reports.<\/p>\n

According to Fyens<\/em>, the official VVM-assessment (an environmental document) developed by consultancy company Cowi<\/a> shows that the Odense data center will feature three server rooms totaling 1 million square feet, an administrative building, a substation and emergency power generators.<\/p>\n

If completed, the project will be the company\u2019s third data center<\/a> outside the U.S., and the biggest in Europe. In 2013, the California-based company opened a similar facility in Sweden and is currently developing a data center in Ireland.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons Facebook is eyeing Denmark is the recent decision of the European Union to remove a controversial energy tax in the country. The PSO tax has been in place for both private and business consumers since 1998 to fund energy that is considered less harmful to the environment. The current 11 percent rate means Danes paid the EU\u2019s highest electricity prices. The Danish government agreed earlier this year to remove the tax gradually over the next six years, according to British publication Arstechinca<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to a research report by Technavio<\/a>, the data center construction market in Europe\u2019s Nordic region is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 22 percent until 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany data centers in the Nordic region comply with green standards as they are powered by renewable energy sources and use free cooling techniques. These data centers are developed with a PUE of around 1.3 with the exception of modular facilities that have a PUE of less than 1.3,\u201d Rakesh Panda, lead analyst at Technavio, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Facebook announced plans for a data center facility<\/a> just south of Albuquerque, in Los Lunas, N.M.<\/p>\n
