Salo, FinlandProposed

Planned critical IT: 160 MW
Updated: Oct 29, 2026

atNorth plans FIN05 on a 28.6-hectare site in Kärkkä, Salo. The design provides up to 160 MW IT within a 230 MW gross-power plan; the first phase targets 60 MW IT with 75 MW of power reported secured and power availability forecast for Q3 2028. Salo reports selling approximately seven hectares to Regant DC1 Oy, only part of the campus. Its August 2026 decision approved €3,489,400 sale terms for four city-owned property portions. The operator’s roughly €2 billion investment estimate excludes customer servers and installation and is not committed financing. Construction start, whole-campus title and permit details remain unverified.
