International hub for future energy solutions
Skellefteå's new landmark will be a meeting place for research, education, and innovation in electrification, and will also serve as the base for the Arctic Centre of Energy (ACE). This competence centre brings together academia, industry, and the public sector to strengthen the supply of skills and research for the future energy system.
ACE Powerhouse is an 8,300 m2 building that will serve as the base for the Arctic Centre of Energy in Skellefteå, featuring a mix of workplaces, teaching environments, and public spaces. The project has worked systematically to minimise climate impact through a combination of a wooden frame, recycling and conscious material choices. Among other things, materials from Skellefteå Hospital have been repurposed in the building. Hundreds of different products have been evaluated, handled, and recovered, including 20 per cent of the floor area made from recycled material. The building is also a test environment for RISE's research into refining materials and residual flows from the wood industry into new building materials. Installations have been left exposed primarily to allow the project to strip away suspended ceilings and other surface layers. Approximately half of the toilets are flushed with rainwater or river water, and heat is recovered from wastewater through specialised floor drains. Reduced transport has also been prioritised, and electricity is generated locally using solar panels.
The project is certified with Miljöbyggnad Gold and Zero CO2 and was named Miljöbyggnad of the Year 2025 by the Sweden Green Building Council.
The building will be completed in 2027 and will then serve as ACE's base and a hub for research, education, and innovation. Behind ACE are Luleå University of Technology, Skellefteå Municipality and Skellefteå Kraft.
