important role in helping to keep the grid stable and enable the addition of more renewable sources in the production of energy in Sweden – which is a goal for the government as well as the European Union .

Looking at the EU ’ s current focus of putting even more pressure on companies and industries to be more transparent – as well as finding ways of contributing to the overall ambitions of increasing power production using more alternative sources of energy and at the same time reduce the carbon footprint – it is probably just a matter of time before more standards and regulations are introduced for energy intense industries .

Why was it crucial to partner with a vendor whose values aligned with Conapto ’ s commitment to societal contribution and communityfocused initiatives ?

It was one of the deciding factors . At Conapto , we have a very clear code of conduct stating that we want to collaborate with companies that share our vision and ambitions for a greener future . We believe that data centres should not only consume energy but also play an active role in supporting the grid . By introducing Dynamic Grid Support , we can help reduce CO 2 emissions by enabling more renewables to be added to the energy mix . We can also generate new capacity for our customers and deploy it much faster . Both Vertiv and Fever were the perfect match , as they share those ambitions , and our collaboration is testament to this ethos as we work towards creating a more resilient and sustainable digital infrastructure for Sweden and beyond .

with companies that can support our journey and Vertiv has really shown its commitment to helping us achieve our goals , which for us , as a relatively small player on the international arena , will be key to delivering on our vision .

Looking ahead , how do you envision the continued partnership between Conapto and Vertiv contributing to the evolution of data centre solutions , both in Sweden and globally ?

This is a true testament that we as an industry can achieve great things working together . As the industry continues to grow rapidly , we will need more innovation to be able to deliver on the need for more sustainable data centre capacity .

For us at Conapto , it is critical that we can deploy new capacity faster and at the same time achieve a shorter ROI on investments . This will ultimately lead to new capacity for customers going live quicker , which will support the growing demand coming from new technologies such as AI . It is also important for the industry to show commitment and positively contribute to the local community as facilities like ours will be big consumers of electricity . As such we need to show that we can give back value to society whenever possible . �

How does Conapto navigate challenges related to scalability and flexibility as it expands its facilities portfolio , particularly in integrating solutions like Vertiv ’ s to meet the evolving demands of its growing infrastructure ?

Conapto has a clear growth plan for the coming three to four years which includes the current fit out of an additional 20MW data centre as well as a plan for an additional 20MW build out in Stockholm . As such , it is key for us to collaborate
