Finland HE 156/2025 vp has been enacted.
This government proposal moves data centers from the lower electricity tax Category II (0.05 cents/kWh) to the general Category I (2.24 cents/kWh), effective July 1, 2026, raising operating costs roughly 40-fold and generating ~€47 million annually in new revenue. To offset the impact, the government is developing a replacement incentive scheme targeting 'value-added' data centers, expected to enter force in autumn 2026, though its final form remains undecided.
