Summary

atNorth announced on 5 October 2026 a data center campus, FIN05, on a 28.6-hectare development-ready site in Salo, southwest Finland, with about EUR 2bn of its own investment; customer-owned servers could add a further investment estimated at up to EUR 10bn. The press release describes a 75 MW first phase with secured power and a path to up to 230 MW, while the site page lists 230 MW of gross power, up to 160 MW of IT capacity and a 60 MW IT first phase with power planned for Q3 2028. The site will connect to Fingrid's transmission grid through a substation, and atNorth plans long-term power purchase agreements with local suppliers.

Evidence

Sources are linked, not redistributed; each keeps its own terms. An archived copy is a lookup for the Wayback Machine capture nearest the retrieval date and may be unavailable or differ from what was reviewed. Each hash states what it covers; imported factual records are not publisher-page captures.
