The Estonian government has expressed its approval of a planned data center by Sunly in Läänemere, which is projected to have substantial electricity consumption. This development comes alongside the construction of a large hybrid energy park, positioning the data center as a consumer of the energy produced there. According to the Ministry of Climate, this initiative is seen as beneficial from the state's perspective, contributing to the energy ecosystem without affecting the reliability of Estonia's electricity supply.

Kaarel Aus, the development manager of the center, noted that the facility would expand according to demand, ensuring that it would not overwhelm the electricity supply. Sunly is focused on aligning its energy consumption with its production capabilities, indicating a modular design for the data center that would enable gradual expansion. This adaptability is meant to ensure that the center scales in sync with energy production, avoiding the establishment of a facility that operates at maximum capacity from day one.

Estonia currently imports approximately 40% of its electricity, and the lack of controllable capacities can lead to high energy prices, particularly in winter. Nonetheless, officials, including those from Baltic Energy Partners, have stated that the addition of a large electricity consumer like this data center is not expected to raise electricity prices for consumers. This indicates a strategic approach by the government to enhance energy infrastructure while managing consumer costs effectively.
