↑ 4%AFRY appoints Stefan Cartling to advance resilient data center development. 15/09/2026 AFRY has appointed Stefan Cartling as Head of Data Centers to bring together the expertise clients need to address these interconnected challenges throughout the project lifecycle. As demand for data centers grows, decisions made at the start of a project increasingly determine its long-term viability and impact: where power is available, how grid connection and permitting can be secured, and how facilities can be designed to operate reliably while using energy, water and other resources efficiently. AFRY has long supported data center clients from strategy, market assessment and site selection through power studies, permitting, design and engineering, project management and operations. This integrated perspective matters because data center projects often involve dependencies that are easy to underestimate at the start. A site may appear promising before the power situation is clear, or a design choice may create permitting or delivery challenges later. AFRY helps clients identify these links across disciplines, so key risks and trade-offs are visible before the project moves too far ahead.

AFRY helps clients identify these links across disciplines, so key risks and trade-offs are visible before the project moves too far ahead. "Clients are no longer only asking how to design a data center. They are asking how power is available, how permits can be secured, how the grid connection will work, and how the facility can remain efficient and resilient over time. These questions need to be clarified together before they become constraints later in the project." Stefan Cartling, Head of Data Centers at AFRY Experience where complexity matters. Stefan brings long experience from AFRY, combined with a strong track record from complex buildings, infrastructure and data center projects, including assignments for Microsoft, Amazon AWS, Northvolt, Ericsson, RED and other clients. His background spans data center design, high-voltage systems, R&D facilities and infrastructure development - areas that are often central when data center projects move from ambition to delivery. Clarity before commitments are locked in. Whether entering a new market, evaluating a site, planning an expansion or improving an existing facility, data center clients need a clear view of what is feasible before critical choices are made. For clients, the value lies in reducing surprises from ambition, through approval, design and delivery, while improving the facility's long-term resilience, efficiency and environmental performance. In his new role, Stefan will connect AFRY's expertise across energy-market analysis, power systems, architecture and engineering, environmental services, project management and advisory. This integrated approach will help clients move from early commercial and technical analysis to implementation and operation with clearer decisions and better-informed trade-offs. Contact Afry Ab.

LCP Delta welcomes Alex Blanckley as leader for Irish power markets. 09 September 2026 Consultancy.uk LCP Delta has appointed Alex Blanckley as head of Irish power markets. As the company continues to grow in Ireland and across Europe, Blanckley will help clients with the key challenges they face amid the energy transition. Rajiv Gogna, head of LCP Delta, said, "Alex is a deep expert in the Irish power market and has worked with many different types of organisations and operators, helping them to navigate the energy transition. This represents another step in its growth across European markets, where The Consultancy Company now support clients across a dozen countries. According to Gogna, while LCP Delta has supported clients in the Irish market for a number of years, the challenges the market is now facing, "particularly in light of data centre build out," means it is having to step up its commitment. Blanckley's appointment comes at a pivotal time for the Irish electricity market, to that end. As Ireland is targeting 80% renewable electricity by 2030, major investment in grid infrastructure and recent reforms to the energy storage market are creating new opportunities and challenges for utilities, developers and investors. However, with the power-hungry rollout of data centres across the country, demand for energy is on the rise - providing a new set of challenges to contend with on the road to net zero. Prior to joining LCP Delta, Blanckley was a senior principal in AFRY's Irish power market team, advising a range of clients with interests in the energy transition, including utilities, developers, network operators and infrastructure investors. Earlier, he also worked in equity research and investment. Looking ahead, as head of Irish power markets, he will work in the newly created role to support LCP Delta's continued growth in Ireland and across Europe. Blanckley commented, "Electricity demand has been growing, driven by increased data centre consumption, and is expected to growth further driven by data centres, EVs and heat pumps. This growth requires additional generation capacity, with significant volumes of new peakers, batteries and renewables being contracted and built. It will also require a transformation of demand-side flexibility across the residential, commercial and industrial sectors."
AFRY joins TactoTek IMSE ecosystem as engineering partner. AFRY's 18,000-strong engineering network gives TactoTek on-site access to OEM design teams across Europe for the first time * September 8, 2026 Engineering consultancy AFRY has signed a technology licensing agreement with TactoTek, joining the Finnish firm's In-Mold Structural Electronics (IMSE) ecosystem as an engineering partner to apply the technology across its automotive and mobility programmes. Under the agreement, the Swedish firm will integrate IMSE-based smart surface solutions into vehicle programmes spanning concept through to series production. AFRY brings product and vehicle development capability, industrial design, embedded software and digital engineering to the IMSE ecosystem, drawn from a client base spanning automotive, industrial and mobility sectors. The deal gives IMSE its first European design studio alongside AFRY's 18,000 engineers, who serve clients through on-site assignments. IMSE integrates lighting, touch controls, electrical components and circuitry into moulded three-dimensional structures, replacing conventional multi-component architectures with structural electronics. The result is lightweight smart surfaces that reduce assembly complexity and total system cost. Automakers have awarded mass-production programmes in both interior and exterior vehicle applications. AFRY's inclusion in the ecosystem gives TactoTek a European engineering and design partner with direct client relationships across the OEM supply chain. Both companies describe sustainability as a shared focus; IMSE's structural approach reduces the number of discrete components in surface electronics assemblies.
🇸🇪 AFRY selected to lead engineering for Unipers NorthStarH2 e-methanol plant. 31/08/2026 A key project for fossil-free fuels. AFRY has been awarded by Uniper to deliver a FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) for NorthStarH2, a planned e-methanol production facility in Östersund, Sweden. The FEED work takes NorthStarH2 project from early project development towards a Final Investment Decision. NorthStarH2 is one of Sweden's most promising Power-to-X/e-methanol projects. Once built, the facility is designed to produce around 115,000 tonnes of e-methanol per year. This fuel can help cut fossil emissions in hard-to-abate sectors such as transport and the chemical industry, where methanol is a valuable raw material. The plant brings together two clean inputs. Green hydrogen is produced through electrolysis, powered by 175 MW renewable electricity. That hydrogen is then combined with biogenic CO[2] captured from Jämtkraft's biomass-fired heat and power plant in Lugnvik. The result is fossil-free e-methanol made from renewable power and recycled biogenic carbon. What AFRY will deliver. AFRY's scope covers a complete technical FEED, including strategies, plans, and a cost estimate. The team's scope of work includes: * Process design * Plant engineering * Operating philosophy * Technical specifications * HSE in Design * Coordination with other stakeholders including OEM suppliers (providers of electrolysis, carbon capture, and methanol synthesis) During this phase, AFRY and Uniper will mature the plant's technical design and prepare the project for a solid Investment Decision and a safe Execution phase E-methanol will play an increasingly important role in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as transport and chemicals. AFRY is honored to support Uniper in transforming this vision into a technically robust and investment-ready project. says Guy Skantze at AFRY. NorthStarH2 is an important project in Uniper's energy transition portfolio, and we are pleased that the FEED contract with AFRY is now in place. We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration and completing the FEED phase together. says Broghan Helgeson, NorthStarH2's project manager at Uniper. About the project. The assignment was kicked off late August, 2026, and is expected to run until Summer 2027. Uniper plans to make its Final Investment Decision for NorthStarH2 in 2028, with commissioning currently scheduled for 2031. NorthStarH2 is driven by Uniper through Sydkraft Hydrogen AB, in cooperation with Jämtkraft. By turning renewable electricity and captured biogenic CO[2] into fossil-free methanol, the project supports the decarbonization of transport and the chemical industry, and strengthens Östersund's position as a strong location for producing electrofuels.
