Kalmar County
Torsås
Torsås municipal executive committee gave SunSpark Nordic AB a positive planning decision on 24 March 2026 for a data centre of about 10,000 square metres on the property Övraby 1:98 in Söderåkra. The detailed plan is to be drawn up at the applicant's expense. No power capacity is given.
The site is 2.6 hectares of pasture by Pårydsvägen, within a national interest for total defence (weather radar impact zone). The minutes expect 50 to 60 jobs plus about ten in ongoing management, and say connection to district heating and municipal water at Pårydsvägen is possible.
According to the minutes, the company has also applied for a 167-hectare solar park, handled by the county administrative board. On 7 September 2026 the municipality registered new site proposals from the company, with 4.5 and 15.2 hectares in their titles. They are not published.
