Bitzero Holdings has secured a six-month reservation for about 33 hectares of industrial land in Finland, adding another early-stage site to the company’s Nordic development pipeline as it seeks to build infrastructure for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing customers.
The Vancouver-based company said Tuesday that the initial phase of the proposed Finland site could support up to 60 megawatts of capacity, based on current planning assumptions. The land reservation was entered into with a local municipality, giving Bitzero time to advance engineering work, assess electrical connections and identify long-lead infrastructure items before any final acquisition or lease agreement is reached.
The site has a 110-kilovolt transmission line running through the property, which Bitzero described as an important feature as it evaluates scalable power access. The company said its investigation indicates that the transmission line serving the area is fed by renewable and green energy sources, aligning with its strategy of expanding data center infrastructure with a low-carbon footprint.
“Securing this reservation in Finland is another practical step in the continued expansion of our power pipeline,” founder and Chief Executive Officer Mohammed Bakhashwain said in the statement. He described the agreement as an “early-stage milestone” and said the company plans to use the reservation period to advance engineering, power and development planning.
