Winda Energy Oy, known as a responsible developer of renewable energy projects, is expanding its operations with a new data centre project in Rastikangas, Janakkala. The project is being developed in European collaboration with Gi21 Capital, an investment company specialising in the development, construction, and operation of data centre infrastructure across Europe.

The planned capacity of the data centre is approximately 100 MW, with an estimated investment exceeding half a billion euros.

“Finland and Winda Energy have already invested heavily in green electricity production, and it is great to see how this opens up new business opportunities on the consumption side,” says Tuomas Hooli, CEO of Winda Energy, commenting on the company’s new move into data centre development.

The project is expected to bring significant economic benefits to the region. During construction, the data centre will employ hundreds of people, while its ongoing operations will create approximately 30–40 positions for local experts. The municipality of Janakkala will also benefit from increased municipal, property, and corporate tax revenues, as well as proceeds from the sale of the property.

Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027, with the project targeted for completion in 2028. A 22-hectare site has been reserved in the Rastikangas industrial zone.
