Google to invest $15B in AI infrastructure in Finland
Google announced its largest single investment in Europe, committing at least €13 billion through 2028 to expand digital infrastructure in Finland. The investment includes new data centers in Muhos, Kajaani, Vaala, and an expansion of the existing Hamina site, along with grid improvements and clean energy projects. A key component is a 22-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Finnish energy company Fortum to extend the life of the Loviisa nuclear power plant, marking Google's first nuclear energy deal outside the US. Additional PPAs cover two onshore wind farms, and plans include ecological restoration of former forest lands. This move underscores Finland's emergence as a data center hub, often called the 'Texas of Europe' due to abundant land and power, and follows Fortum's stock jumping 11% after the announcement.
