Polarnode Keminmaa Sarvenmaa

PRJ-1313 · Site · Keminmaa, Finland

Record last updated Oct 29, 2026

Scope and capacity

Polarnode’s Sarvenmaa proposal in Keminmaa remains in environmental assessment. The operator markets more than 500 MW of grid capacity, while assessment considers roughly 1,000 MW peak demand; neither is operating IT load. A proposed 400 kV connection would serve the approximately 109–110-hectare site. The August 2026 planning document names Tornator as owner and targets zoning stages in 2027, without establishing a completed sale or approval. FCG supports planning and environmental assessment. The authority requests further generator, emissions, noise and cooling information and recommends considering a smaller alternative.
