The Finnish authorities have ordered the suspension of construction of two proposed Google data centers due to concerns about measures to clean up more than 300 hectares of forest. These projects are part of Google's record 13 billion euro investment plan in Finland, which was announced less than a month ago and is described by Google as its largest single investment in Europe. Finnish regulators said construction at one of the sites was carried out without a mandatory environmental impact assessment and ordered the suspension of construction activities that would “significantly change the environment” until October 23. Google said the company “failed to meet its own high standards in this incident” and will follow the guidance of regulators.
