Our blueprint for responsible clean energy growth in Finland
Google is expanding its digital infrastructure and clean energy partnerships in Finland, including a nuclear plant life extension and new wind projects.
Why it matters
These investments aim to prevent electricity price increases for Finnish households and businesses while expanding the country's carbon-free energy supply.
The big picture
This expansion builds on Google's €13 billion investment in Finnish AI infrastructure reported in prior coverage.
The details
Digital infrastructure expansion includes new data centers in Hamina, Kajaani, Muhos, and Vaala. Smart siting of energy demand could save Finnish consumers €520 million over 20 years. Additionally, Google's Energy Impact Program funds municipal solar panels, batteries, and heat pumps.
What's next
Google intends to scale nuclear, renewables, and flexibility while accelerating new energy technologies for the grid.
