Google signs 20-year nuclear power deal with Finland's Fortum
Key Takeaways
- Google signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Finnish energy company Fortum for electricity from the Loviisa nuclear plant.
- The deal ties a major technology buyer to firm, dispatchable low-carbon generation over a horizon stretching into the 2040s.
- Nuclear output appeals to hyperscalers because data centres and AI workloads run continuously, unlike weather-dependent renewables.
- Loviisa is an existing plant on Finland's southern coast, meaning power is available now rather than years from construction.
