NURMIJÄRVI, Finland, Jan 22 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DayOne, a Singapore-based global data center developer and operator, today announced early-stage plans for a data center project in Klaukkala, Nurmijärvi, Finland. At the same time, the Municipality of Nurmijärvi has initiated its handling of a preliminary sale of the data center site with DayOne. The planned project further reinforces DayOne’s long-term commitment to advancing Finland’s digital ecosystem, following its previously announced investment commitment of approximately EUR 1.2 billion in the Lahti project, as well as the joint-venture project in Kouvola with a local partner.
The continued development of the Nurmijärvi project is subject to required government approvals and permits. The data center has a tentative phased development potential of up to 560 MW of total grid power. At peak, construction is estimated to employ up to approximately 1,000 workers, with long-term operations supporting a gradual ramp-up of up to 700 skilled positions.
