Arcem Joroinen

Arcem Joroinen is a proposed data center development located in the Huutokoski industrial area of Joroinen, Finland. The project is spearheaded by Norwegian real estate developer Arcem, Inc., with the objective of securing a major data center operator for an 18.5-hectare plot. The location is strategically chosen due to its proximity to Fingrid's significant substation and planned infrastructure upgrades, including the Järvilinja power line, making it suitable for energy-intensive operations. Joroinen municipality is actively seeking operators who can utilize locally produced renewable energy. Arcem's proposal includes a four-month free investigation period for plot suitability, followed by a one-year lease for EUR 30,000, with a final purchase price of EUR 600,000. The municipality emphasizes a preference for operators with clear ownership structures and a commitment to avoid activities like cryptocurrency mining. The municipal board's decision on Arcem's offer is pending.
