Google to invest €13 billion in Finland for AI infrastructure

Google plans to invest at least €13 billion in Finland between 2027 and 2028 to expand its AI-focused data centers and secure nuclear power supplies. The investment includes upgrading the power grid managed by Fingrid and follows the company's long-term strategy of utilizing existing infrastructure, such as its Hamina campus which was converted from a former paper mill. This move highlights the growing competition for carbon-free energy between AI developers and Bitcoin miners.
