Finnish Lapland
Finnish renewable energy firm Winda Energy, in partnership with investment company Gi21 Capital, has announced plans to develop a data center campus in Keminmaa, a municipality in Finnish Lapland.
The €500 million ($582 million) project will occupy a 15-hectare plot within the Rajakangas industrial zone, strategically positioned at the intersection of the E8 and E75 highways. Leveraging Sea Lapland’s robust, production-oriented renewable energy grid, construction is scheduled to begin in 2027, with the first phase targeted for completion in 2028. This marks Winda Energy’s second major data center announcement this year, following a similar joint project in Janakkala earlier in 2026.
