FCDC Corp 50MW Capacity Colocation Facility In Rovaniemi
Status: Permitting / Regulatory Review | Location: Hietavaara Industrial Area, 96100 Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland
Project Overview
FCDC Rovaniemi Data Center is a sustainable 50 MW digital infrastructure development located in the Hietavaara industrial sector of Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland. Developed by FCDC Corp Oy, the campus is designed to support energy-intensive artificial intelligence training clusters, cloud computing workloads, and high-density colocation deployments requiring substantial power, cooling, and connectivity infrastructure. The planned 50 MW capacity provides the foundation for large-scale computing environments, while the facility's location near the Arctic Circle supports an energy-efficient cooling strategy based on local ambient conditions. The campus utilizes 100% direct free-air cooling, allowing outside air to support thermal management, while liquid-to-chip heat rejection loops provide additional cooling capabilities for high-density computing equipment. Local district heating integration creates an opportunity to utilize recovered thermal energy, connecting data center operations with the surrounding heating infrastructure. The facility is powered by Finland's zero-carbon electrical grid, supporting its sustainability-oriented operating model and reducing the carbon intensity associated with energy-intensive digital workloads. Electrical resilience is supported by 2N redundancy, while a high-reliability Fingrid grid interconnection provides access to Finland's national transmission infrastructure. Redundant carrier-neutral fiber infrastructure connects the Rovaniemi site with major European digital hubs, supporting low-latency connectivity for cloud platforms, AI applications, and enterprise customers. The combination of Arctic climate conditions, free-air cooling, liquid cooling, district heating integration, renewable electricity access, resilient power infrastructure, and carrier-neutral connectivity creates a data center platform tailored to high-density digital workloads. With its 50 MW planned capacity and focus on AI, cloud, and colocation requirements, FCDC Rovaniemi represents a regional digital infrastructure development designed to combine computing capacity with energy-efficient cooling and reliable connectivity across Finland and the wider European digital ecosy
