Google just committed €13 billion to AI infrastructure in Finland, the largest single-country AI buildout in Europe to date. The investment includes a long-term power purchase agreement with a Finnish nuclear plant, securing baseload energy for new data centers in the region. Cerebras and Compute Nordic Finland are already scaling a 165 MW AI facility in Mikkeli, phased for rapid expansion. Denmark, meanwhile, has rationed new grid access as AI demand outstrips capacity, signaling a bottleneck for builders without locked-in power contracts. This is the Nordic AI land grab in motion, with energy as the decisive factor. Builders should audit their power procurement strategy this week and explore nuclear or renewable PPAs to avoid grid rationing delays.
