Google Commits €13 Billion to Finnish AI Data Centres

Google announced at least €13 billion for data centres in Hamina, Kajaani, Muhos and Vaala in 2027 and 2028, its largest single investment in Europe, with a 22-year nuclear power deal to extend the Loviisa plant.

On 9 September 2026 Google announced at least €13 billion for digital infrastructure, clean energy and local partnerships in Finland over two years, its largest single investment in Europe^[1][3].
The capital goes into data centres in 2027 and 2028: Google expands its existing Hamina site and opens data centre operations in Kajaani, Muhos and Vaala^[3][5].
Hamina is a former Stora Enso paper mill that Google bought for about €40 million and opened as a data centre in 2011; it employs about 500 people^[1][2].
Construction is expected to support more than 37,000 jobs, about 16,000 of them in construction, and add €3.6 billion a year to Finland's GDP; once operational the sites sustain 7,000 jobs at wages 24% above Finland's median^[1][3][4].
Google signed a 22-year agreement with Fortum supporting the life extension of the Loviisa nuclear plant beyond 2030, contracted new onshore wind and a 94 MW battery system near Kajaani^[1][3][6]; Fortum's shares rose 11%^[6].
Google also puts €31 million into Hamina, Kajaani, Muhos and Vaala over four years, including AI upskilling for more than 4,400 workers^[1].
The sites will serve Search, Maps and Gemini^[1][4]; Prime Minister Petteri Orpo called the decision "a clear testament to our strengths"^[3][4].
