At Etha, we support customers in the development of data center projects in Finland through a holistic approach built on integrity and strong local expertise. By integrating technical and stakeholder perspectives, we strengthen local acceptance, long-term sustainability, and investor attractiveness.
Data Center Project Development
During the development phase, we can support or take on the role of project manager, helping fulfill planning and permitting requirements while preparing the project for the construction phase. We work closely with project owners, landowners, municipalities, local residents and potential local consumers of waste heat, authorities, consultants, and grid operators. Our experience in project development ensures the process advances efficiently and cost-effectively toward implementation.
Data Center Transaction, PPA & Financing Advisory
Securing optimal financing and long-term energy strategy is critical for data centre viability. Through our broad international network of investors, utilities, project developers, banks, and technology providers, we help structure and package what is required to secure financing for the construction phase of the project. Services include, for example, investor identification and transaction process management and execution, energy supply structuring and agreements, as well as support in acquisition or divestment processes.
Data Center Project Advisory and Due Diligence Services
Our Project Advisory Services help strengthen your datacenter project by identifying key commercial, regulatory, and legal risks and opportunities throughout the development process. We understand the key objects of Route-to-Market ideology in the data centre business and have a clear vision of what to look for. We support projects from early planning and permitting with visual impact assessments, concept planning and evaluating construction readiness.
For investors and lenders, we provide Technical, Legal, and Environmental Due Diligence with a flexible scope, ensuring clear analysis and efficient communication throughout the transaction. Topics such as energy sourcing, carbon footprint assessments, compliance expectations, and stakeholder impacts may be included in the scope.
