Finland orders halt to construction at two Google data centres pending environmental review

Summary

Finland's environmental authority (LVV) ordered a halt to work at planned Google data centre sites in Muhos and Kajaani after construction proceeded without a required environmental impact assessment and involved clearing over 300 hectares of forest, part of Google's announced 13-billion-euro investment in Finnish digital infrastructure.

This summary was written by a language model from the 3 sources listed below.

  • Place

The model names places and sections as the sources do; every point comes from Vidik’s register of places and sits at the centre of the named place, not at an exact location. A section is marked on the road itself when the map knows its number (A1, M-17); otherwise it is a dashed line between its ends. A name the register does not recognise is not drawn. Colour shows the event’s severity.

Locations

Places mentioned in the report

Hamina is marked because Google has an existing data centre there slated for further investment, while the halted work concerns only the sites in Muhos and Kajaani.
