Google Invests €1B in Finnish Data Center to Boost AI and Heat Local Homes

The expansion will increase AI compute capacity and provide 80% of Hamina's district heating needs using reclaimed server heat.

Google's €1 billion investment will expand its Hamina data center campus in Finland.
The project will use waste heat from servers to heat nearby homes, schools, and public buildings.
The expanded facility aims to meet 80% of Hamina's annual heating demand by 2025.
Google's data center in Hamina already operates with 97% renewable energy.
The expansion is expected to create 500 new jobs, including 100 full-time positions.
