The Cloud that will rise from here will rain down on the entire world !
It will rain on the gardens of strangers, it will rain on the gardens of our own !!
This Cloud has always rained !

Today Microsoft announced its largest investment in Sweden to accelerate Sweden's adoption of AI and expand cloud and AI infrastructure. For me, a highlight of this announcement was seeing how our sustainability commitments are integrated into this work:
* Carbon-free Energy: The existing Swedish datacenter region benefits from Microsoft's sustainability investments and is powered by 100 percent fossil-free energy, with hourly energy matching 24/7 in collaboration with Vattenfall. Microsoft has also combined its capital investments with investments in renewable energy -- procuring nearly 1,000 MW of renewable energy in Sweden, of which more than 800 MW is already in operation.
* Water: Water is only used for humidification and the majority is collected rainwater. This system uses less electricity and only a fraction of the amount of water used by other cooling systems.
* Innovation: Microsoft has successfully conducted a groundbreaking pilot with Saft, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, where battery energy storage systems (BESS) are used to replace backup diesel generators. This pilot demonstrates the potential of decarbonizing the digital industry and is an important milestone on Microsoft's path towards diesel-free data centers by 2030.
In addition, Microsoft Sweden's first hybrid project with wind and solar energy has been contracted, which is expected to be operational by 2025.
These examples underscore the recent announcement by Microsoft's Corporate Vice President for Cloud Operations and Innovation Noelle Walsh of Microsoft's Datacenter Community Pledge. This pledge that Microsoft’s datacenters will be not only be the backbone of modern technology but also a force for good in the communities they serve. In her announcement she shares how we are working to design and operate our datacenters to support society’s climate goals and become carbon negative, water positive and zero waste before 2030 and contribute to a more a sustainable future; advancing community prosperity and well-being; and operating responsibly as a good neighbor.

Sweden also known as silicon valley of Europe, birth place of many innovative IT companies and biggest gaming industry, somehow way behind in AI investment. But now it’s seems we are speeding up. With this investment we can expect more data centers in Sweden for Azure AI services, more experts available in market and maybe more pre-trained AI models😀
