芬兰监管机构LVV对谷歌的欧洲投资项目下令暂停，要求停止位于Muhos和Kajaani两个计划数据中心的施工工作1。该项目涉及清除超过300公顷森林，引发环保部门顾虑1。这两个数据中心是谷歌13亿欧元（约合11亿英镑或15亿美元）芬兰投资计划的一部分1。
监管部门指控其中一处工地未按规定进行强制环境影响评估1。LVV要求谷歌子公司Tuike Finland在10月14日前就此作出说明并阐述后续计划，否则将启动执法程序1。根据命令，施工必须在2023年10月23日前停止1。谷歌对此回应称"我们在这个案例中未达到我们自己的高标准"1，并承诺在Muhos地区进行130公顷的树木种植1。该项目施工阶段预计将支持超过37,000个工作岗位1，主要建设阶段计划在2027至2028年进行1。此外，谷歌已与能源公司Fortum签署22年电力购买协议，覆盖Loviisa核电厂产能的一半1。
Finland's environmental regulator has ordered a suspension of construction work on two planned Google data centres, citing concerns about the removal of more than 300 hectares of forest.1 The projects are part of Google's €13 billion investment plan announced for Europe, described as the company's largest single investment on the continent.1
The two affected data centres are located in Muhos and Kajaani.1 Finland's environmental authority LVV mandated that work must cease by October 23, 2023, after determining that one of the sites had not undergone a mandatory environmental impact assessment.1 The regulator has required Google's subsidiary Tuike Finland to provide an explanation and outline its subsequent plans by October 14, or face enforcement proceedings.1 Google responded to the action by stating, "We have not met our own high standards in this case."1
The company has pledged to plant 130 hectares of trees at the Muhos site as part of mitigation efforts.1 The construction phase of the project is projected to support more than 37,000 jobs.1 Additionally, Google has signed a 22-year power purchase agreement with Fortum covering half of the output from the Loviisa nuclear power plant, securing renewable energy for the data centres.1 The main construction phase is scheduled for 2027–2028.1
