Facebook is planning to build a multimillion-dollar server farm on the edge of the Arctic circle to house its computer servers, UK's The Telegraph reported.
Such a move will also mark the first time Facebook locates a server farm outside the US.
The Telegraph said the facility at Luleå town in northern Sweden - at the northern tip of the Baltic Sea, 62 miles south of the Arctic Circle, once completed, would use as much electricity as a town of 50,000 people.
"The climate will allow them to just use only air for cooling the servers," said Mats Engman, chief executive of the Aurorum Science Park.
