  3. Sesterce plans €10B AI data centre campus at former Finnish paper mill

    French AI infrastructure company Sesterce said it plans to invest more than €10bn in an AI data centre campus in Jämsä, central Finland, on the Kaipola site where UPM shut its paper mill in early 2021. The first phase, at 200MW, is due to start construction in 2026, with a second phase lifting capacity to 600MW; over time Sesterce aims for more than 1GW of AI capacity on existing industrial sites in Finland. The company expects around 2,000 construction jobs and about 300 permanent roles, plus a €10m local fund; site owner Kaipola Green Port is still negotiating the sale, and local officials note permits are still required.
