COPENHAGEN: Apple Inc said on June 11 it had decided to cancel plans for a second data centre in Denmark and the company will expand its other site in the country instead.

Denmark and other Nordic countries have long been a magnet for power-hungry industries because of their renewable energy resources such as hydropower and wind. They are now also attracting tech companies because of the potential to generate electricity relatively cheaply from renewable sources.
