The Power Region

What The Power Region does

The Power Region is a regional collaboration initiative in Jämtland County, Sweden, jointly operated by Östersunds kommun (project owner), Krokoms kommun, Jämtkraft (regional energy company), and Region Jämtland Härjedalen. Founded in 2021, it markets the area to electricity-intensive industries — data center operators, battery manufacturers, and electrofuel producers — by bundling access to 100% renewable electricity, pre-planned industrial land, and short municipal decision-making processes. The initiative does not generate commercial revenue; it is funded through its public collaborators and does not disclose pricing for land or power.

The core offering centers on two industrial sites at Torvalla Verksmon (Site A: 8 hectares, construction-ready; Site B: 100 hectares, with planned 200+ MW capacity by 2027) and a 500 MW connection agreement between Jämtkraft and Svenska Kraftnät at the Midskog substation, 28 km from Östersund. The energy mix is overwhelmingly hydropower (Jämtland generates roughly a third of Sweden's hydropower), supplemented by 1,500 planned wind turbines and a top-three ranking in Sweden for installed solar capacity per inhabitant. The SE2 area is projected to remain a surplus electricity zone until 2045, with a 40 TWh surplus over the next 25 years.

Distribution is enterprise field sales: a named project manager (Viktoria Winberg) and municipal representatives (Håkan Åsberg at Krokom, Erik Esseen at Östersund) handle direct engagement with prospective industrial tenants. Marketing channels include a multilingual website (Swedish, English, German), expert lectures (industry strategists, Chalmers faculty, the Jämtland County Governor), and collaborated outreach with Business Region Mid Sweden, Peak Innovation, and Mid Sweden University. The associated project "Hållbara Elintensiva Industrier" ran until 2023; the underlying collaboration continues.
