Why
Finland is Europe’s most reliable and sustainable location for mission-critical workloads.
Finland combines ultra-stable renewable energy, a cool climate that cuts cooling costs by up to 50%, and one of the world’s most reliable power grids.
Combined with direct submarine cable connections to Europe, Asia, and the US, and a transparent political environment,
Safest choice for hyperscale investments.

Energy & Grid
- lowest electricity prices across the EU and more than 50% cheaper than the EU average
- Fingrid transmission reliability: 99.9999%
- 95% from fossil-free sources (hydro, wind, solar, nuclear, biomass)
- Long-term wind & solar PPAs available
- Data centers integrate waste heat into district heating, lowering CO₂
Example: Microsoft’s Espoo campus will recycle enough heat for 250,000 residents.
