Google Commits €13 Billion To Finland, Locks In Nuclear Power For 22 Years
The package funds data centers, wind power and a 94-megawatt battery system, but the promised 37,000 construction jobs end in 2028.
- Google signed a 22-year contract extending life of Finland's Loviisa nuclear plant.
- Construction supports 37,000 jobs and €3.6 billion in annual GDP, both temporary, through 2027-2028.
- Four towns, Hamina, Kajaani, Muhos and Vaala, split €31 million over four years.
Why it matters: The nuclear contract runs twenty-two years; the jobs promise ends when construction does in 2028.
