Spotlight on Google
• Multi-billion-euro investment plan in Finland
• Now seeking housing for large numbers of construction workers
Why Finland?
• Vast land + low population density = room to grow
• The catch: electricity access
• Strong power connections are essential, but city grids are often congested
• This is pushing new projects further north
Government Steps In
• New rules proposed to steer big power users to less congested, remote areas
• Legislation could take effect as early as next year
