Alphabet‘s Google said it has bought a plot of land in southern Denmark adjacent to a planned Apple data center to make sure it has the option of building one there too.
Apple said in July it would spend around $950 million to build a center with a planned opening in 2019. If Google follows suit it would make the area one of the world’s largest data center hubs, the local municipality Aabenraa said.
“This is great news,” Denmark’s energy minister Lars Christian Lilleholt told Reuters on Friday.
