Access to clean and cost-effective energy is critical for data centers and other large-scale industrial projects. Grid connection, power procurement strategies, and long-term power purchase agreements have a direct impact on project profitability. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the electricity system, power procurement, and energy markets from the perspective of data center and other industrial projects.

The insights gained from the course will help participants identify optimal project locations and leverage energy markets effectively to improve project profitability.

The course also explores Finland as an operating environment. Finland offers excellent conditions for data centers, including a stable and predictable business environment, ample available space, significant clean energy generation potential, and competitive conditions for industries driving the green transition.

To Whom

The course is designed for data center operators and industrial stakeholders planning to operate in Finland—whether developing a new project, acquiring a fully permitted project, or pursuing a combination of both. The course is valuable for professionals involved in developing, managing, financing, or consulting on industrial projects. During the day, participants will also gain practical understanding of site selection, permitting, and power procurement.

Networking Dinner

The day will culminate in a networking dinner, with Antti Poikola from the Finnish Data Center Association as the keynote speaker. The dinner will provide an opportunity to discuss the topic with industry players and make new contacts.

As you noticed, the event offers excellent networking opportunities with key stakeholders in Finland, so don’t miss out on this unic chance. However, you can also participate in the course remotely.

The course is organized by Renewables Finland (Suomen uusiutuvat ry) with the support of
the Finnish Data Centers Association and Business Finland.
