The cold north with nuclear and wind power is becoming one of Europe's main SI "factories". There will be more compute for new models, and Finland gains tens of thousands of jobs.
Google will spend at least €13 billion (about $15.1 billion) in 2027–2028 on data centers and infrastructure in Hamina, Kajaani, Muhos and Vaala. During the construction phase, this should give Finland an average of €3.6 billion of GDP a year and more than 37 thousand jobs. For power, the company signed a 22-year agreement with Fortum to extend the operation of the Loviisa nuclear plant, and contracted new onshore wind farms and a 94 MW battery.
