i mean this one is a bit of a special case. it’s being built on an existing industrial lot, the one previously supposed to be used for the northvolt expansion. there has been power-hungry manufacturing on that site since the late 1800’s so all the infrastructure is already in place, and as i noted there is generation capability literally a stone’s throw away. the closest hydro plant is like 150 meters from the dc.

for me personally, the main benefit to getting industry back onto that lot is that there is also a district heating plant there, which the old paper mill was plugged into. when it closed down, heating costs basically doubled. building a giant radiator paid for by the french there will make those costs come back down.
