Finland ordered Google (谷歌) to suspend construction at Muhos (穆霍斯) and Kajaani (卡亚尼) data-center projects pending environmental impact assessments.

· ComputeLabs Research · from the October 7, 2026 edition

The suspension applies to two named development projects. According to Financial_Express, Finland’s licensing and supervisory authority, identified as LVV, notified Google subsidiary Tuike Finland Oy on October 6. The order requires construction at Muhos (穆霍斯) and Kajaani (卡亚尼) to stop until environmental impact assessments are completed.

The reported restrictions extend to site-preparation work. Covered activities include tree felling, topsoil removal, excavation, quarrying, crushing, earthmoving, trenching, and construction of roads and storage areas. The message attributes this list to a Google-translated version of the authority’s press release, rather than supplying the original regulatory document.

The report places the action alongside a broader investment commitment. Google had announced $15 billion of AI-infrastructure investment in Finland one month earlier. The supplied material does not allocate that commitment between these two sites or provide their power capacity, construction budgets, revised schedules, or assessment-completion dates.
