Data centre location to Finland - case Microsoft

Ground-breaking waste heat recycling from data centre 

Fortum and Microsoft are collaborating on an innovative project set to transform sustainability efforts in Finland's capital region.  

The starting point was the need to find alternatives to replace fossil fuels in Fortum’s district heating production to achieve carbon neutrality at group level by 2030. Waste heat from data centres running on CO2-free power was concluded as a potential solution, and the process to identify potential partners was initiated.   

The outcome is the collaboration with Microsoft, where the company is making the biggest ICT investment in Finland by building a datacenter region close to the capital area.  Finland is an ideal location for datacenters due to the cold climate and access to CO2-free power and a reliable power grid. 

The waste heat produced by the datacenters will be captured and used in Fortum's district heating , making this a truly win-win situation for all.  

This collaboration signifies a significant stride towards a more sustainable digital transformation and enabling large scale CO2-free district heating.
