Arcem has acquired land in eastern Finland for a planned data center development.

The company this week announced it has signed an agreement with the municipality of Joroinen to acquire a site for a data center project.

The first development phase will make 60MW available as early as 2027, scaling to 100MW before 2029. The site could eventually scale to 500MW.

The agreement was signed last week following a unanimous resolution by the Joroinen municipal council. The property is zoned for data center use, and a building permit for the first phase is expected to be in place as early as this summer. News that Arcem was targeting Joroinen for a development surfaced last year.
