TikTok Plans 150 MW at Finland Data Center Still Under Construction

TikTok plans to take about 150 megawatts of capacity at a new data center in Kouvola, Finland, intended for its Project Clover European user-data security initiative. But the capacity is not yet available: TikTok says it will become a tenant only once the facility is ready for use.

The planned capacity was detailed in an economic-impact report commissioned by TikTok and Hyperco, the company building the facility. It gives a specific scale to TikTok’s Kouvola project, where the company had already announced a 1 billion euro investment. That earlier investment announcement did not disclose how much capacity the project would provide.

A phased route to capacity

Hyperco is building the Kouvola site in two stages. Construction began in September 2025 on a 50-megawatt first phase that is expected to finish in 2027. A second phase is planned to add 100 megawatts. TikTok says it will become a tenant only once the facility is available, making construction the gate between its commitment and actual use of the site.

Project Clover’s Finnish footprint

TikTok says the operating Kouvola facility is intended to form part of Project Clover, which it describes as a 12 billion euro initiative to strengthen protections for European user data. The project connection is also conditional on the site becoming operational, rather than a description of capacity TikTok is using today.

Finland's available land and power have made it a focus for data-center development, while power is scarce across much of Europe, CNBC reports. TikTok, owned by Beijing-based ByteDance, is expanding there with a stated focus on protecting European user data.
