This is an article about how Sweden is opening up its northern areas to green industry.  "Northvolt, a company whose car battery gigafactory is rising at breathtaking speed on the outskirts of Skellefteå, this old gold-mining city just 200km south of the Arctic Circle is just the most advanced in a succession of green industrial megaprojects springing up all over Sweden’s far north, lured by cheap, renewable energy, vast tracts of undeveloped land and funding from the European Green Deal. Development locals compare it to Dubai or the Klondike gold rush."

I think they already have quite a few people who have taken them up on the offer.  It sure doesn't look like "off the grid" living -- just mighty cold and mighty dark, I believe. It's quite the interesting story, even if you have no intention of going.
