\n Skellefte\u00e5 Science City\u2019s contribution <\/span>\n to Arctic Center of Energy<\/span>\n <\/h1>\n
\n
\n

Arctic Center of Energy, ACE, is a centre of expertise for the electrification of society that is being developed at Campus Skellefte\u00e5. Skellefte\u00e5 Science City, SCS, was tasked with coordinating stakeholders, promoting innovation and developing the operational concept in connection with the construction of the ACE building. Through this work, SCS has helped position the ACE facility as a leading test bed for future electrification and energy solutions.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n \n

Creating a shared vision for the future of energy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Arctic Center of Energy is a major and ambitious initiative founded by Skellefte\u00e5 Municipality, Lule\u00e5 University of Technology, LTU, Northvolt and Skellefte\u00e5 Kraft. Organisationally, ACE is established as a centre within LTU. As part of the initiative, Skellefte\u00e5 Municipality is constructing a new building at Campus Skellefte\u00e5 that will serve as the base for operations once completed. The building is financed by the municipality.<\/p>\n

In the early stages of the construction process, SCS acted as a bridge between the various stakeholders and the building project, coordinating the strategic work. The objective was to define and communicate the concept of the facility as a world leading centre for sustainable energy solutions and a test bed for electrification.<\/p>\n

Sustainability and circular material solutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The building has been designed to minimise climate impact, with high sustainability ambitions. It will function as a research and demonstration environment, with the goal of becoming an environmentally responsible and energy efficient facility. The building will be certified according to Milj\u00f6byggnad 4.0 and NollCO2 standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had very high sustainability ambitions and have aimed to deliver a building with as low climate impact as possible through circular solutions and reused materials from other buildings in Skellefte\u00e5, including timber, reclaimed windows, staircases and surplus materials,\u201d says Sanna Orellano, Business Developer at Skellefte\u00e5 Science City, responsible for coordinating and developing the concept for the ACE building.<\/p>\n

Coordinating and driving innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A significant part of the assignment involved creating and communicating a clear concept for Arctic Center of Energy, highlighting the building\u2019s role as a test bed and innovation hub for future electrification and sustainable energy solutions. The work also included coordinating communication between stakeholders and ensuring effective collaboration and dialogue between academia, industry and the public sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe assignment also included establishing structures for recurring stakeholder dialogues, enabling us to continuously integrate new ideas and perspectives that strengthen the building\u2019s profile. Another important aspect was supporting the development of study visit offerings, both during the construction phase and once the building is completed, in order to attract stakeholders and partners to the facility and the wider area,\u201d Sanna Orellano continues.<\/p>\n

A vision for the future takes shape<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The collaboration between the municipality, academia, industry and SCS has led to construction beginning in late 2024. When the building is completed in 2027, it will be an internationally leading centre for sustainable energy and electrification.<\/p>\n

\u201cSCS has contributed strategic development, innovative thinking and the structures needed to move the project forward. Today, ACE is an active presence at Campus Skellefte\u00e5, driving the development of both the building\u2019s content and ongoing innovation projects,\u201d says Anna M\u00e5rd, CEO of Skellefte\u00e5 Science City.<\/p>\n

Continued collaboration and innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now that SCS has concluded its assignment, the project continues under the leadership of the municipality and the collaborating stakeholders. Construction is underway and the building is scheduled to open in 2027. At the same time, the development of content, partnerships and innovative solutions continues within ACE.<\/p>\n

Arctic Center of Energy is intended to be more than a building. It will be a living and dynamic environment for innovation and collaboration. Its continued development will play an important role in strengthening Skellefte\u00e5\u2019s and Sweden\u2019s position in the global transition to sustainable energy solutions.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":2904,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[87],"class_list":["post-4891","case","type-case","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-case-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSkellefte\u00e5 Science City\u2019s contribution to Arctic Center of Energy -
