Nebius said it will develop a 310-megawatt data center in Lappeenranta, Finland, marking one of Europe’s largest AI infrastructure projects. The facility, being built with Finnish developer Polarnode, is expected to come online in phases starting in 2027.
The site will support training AI models and running applications, and will not be tied to a single customer. This gives Nebius flexibility to serve multiple large clients as demand for AI computing continues to rise.
The expansion follows major supply deals with U.S. tech giants Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META), with total contract value above $40 billion. These deals show strong demand for Nebius’ AI capacity and support its position in the fast-growing AI infrastructure market.
Why Did Nebius Choose Finland for This Project?
Finland is a key spot for data centers due to low power costs, clean energy, and a cold climate that cuts cooling needs. Nebius said Lappeenranta offers strong grid access and fast land use, making it a good fit for a large project.
Once ready, this site will be Nebius’ largest in Europe and will make up a solid part of its total capacity. The company aims to secure more than 3 gigawatts of contracted capacity by the end of the year.
Is NBIS Stock a Good Buy?
On TipRanks, NBIS has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on eight Buy and one Hold ratings. The average Nebius price target of $166.11 implies nearly 80% upside potential from current levels.
