Isojoki Data Center Oy is developing a significant data center campus in Isojoki, in Western Finland. At this stage, the planned capacity of the project is assumed to be 40 MW, and an area of approximately 180 hectares has been secured for the project, making it one of the most significant data center projects in Finland. Isojoki Data Center Oy has selected Etha as the project development consultant to manage and coordinate the planning and permitting processes. The aim of the cooperation is to create a clear and efficient pathway from early planning to construction readiness, while ensuring alignment with regulatory, environmental and sustainability requirements.
The project will be carried out in different phases. The focus in the initial development phase will be on shaping a clear project vision, initiating dialogue with key stakeholders, and assessing critical technical and infrastructure opportunities related to energy, grid connections, and sustainability solutions. The aim is to ensure that the project is feasible, future-proof, and environmentally responsible.
As the project progresses, Etha will continue to play a pivotal role in guiding the project toward implementation by managing the permitting processes and coordinating essential studies as well as carrying out land use planning. In parallel, Etha will support the development of key infrastructure connections and stakeholder engagement. By combining local presence and networks in the area with technical, legal and commercial expertise, Etha supports Isojoki Data Center Oy in moving the project toward construction readiness.
Data centers play an increasingly important role in enabling and integrating sustainable energy solutions, and we at Etha are excited to contribute to the sustainable development of the data center sector in Finland.
