Google Hamina 350 MW Hyperscale Data Center Campus Finland

Status: Operational / Under Major Expansion   |   Location: Ensontie 1, 49420 Hamina, Finland

Project Overview

Google Hamina Data Center is a hyperscale cloud and artificial intelligence data center campus located at Ensontie 1 in Hamina, Finland, along the Gulf of Finland. Operated by Google, the facility forms an important part of the company's European digital infrastructure network, supporting cloud computing, AI workloads, data processing, search, video streaming, and other large-scale digital services. The campus was established in 2009 following Google's acquisition and adaptive reuse of the former Summa paper mill, transforming an industrial site into a modern technology infrastructure complex while retaining elements of the original facility. Its multi-building configuration provides space for large-scale computing infrastructure and enables Google to deploy and expand high-performance systems required for cloud platforms and AI applications. The Hamina location benefits from Finland's cool climate, which supports efficient data center cooling and can reduce the energy requirements associated with managing high-density computing equipment. Google has also developed advanced cooling infrastructure at the site, including a seawater cooling system that uses water from the Gulf of Finland for heat-management operations. The campus supports Google Cloud Platform services and computing workloads associated with applications such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, storage, and enterprise cloud services, while also contributing to infrastructure supporting Google's consumer platforms, including YouTube and Search. Its location in southeastern Finland provides access to European fiber networks and international connectivity routes, allowing data and applications to move efficiently between the campus, Google’s wider infrastructure network, and customers across the region. The site's industrial redevelopment also demonstrates how existing infrastructure can be adapted for large-scale digital facilities while supporting local economic and technology development. Through its hyperscale capacity, advanced cooling infrastructure, strategic Nordic location, and integration with Google's global network, the Google Hamina Data Center serves as a significant European platform for cloud computing, AI processing, and digital services.
