Finland Halts Google Data Centre Work Over Environmental Review

Finland has ordered Google to suspend preparatory work at two data centre sites in Muhos and Kajaani pending environmental impact assessments. The Finnish Supervisory Agency is investigating whether hundreds of hectares of forest were cleared without proper assessment. Google acknowledged falling short of its own standards and said it will comply. The halt threatens delays to Google's €13 billion investment in Finnish digital infrastructure.
