Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud), facility records as of 2026-11-12. Verified sites that report MW only; blank means no MW reported. The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.

## Colocation lease rates in Helsinki

DC Hub does not hold a lease-rate figure for this market yet.

Equinix operates the largest footprint with seven sites, followed by Telia Company with three and Microsoft with two. The OnZero joint venture was announced, though deal terms remain undisclosed.

The DCPI verdict of AVOID reflects structural tension in Helsinki's power supply dynamics. This combination—low headroom paired with moderate-to-high friction—creates a challenging environment for operators planning incremental power additions. Existing operators will face longer lead times and higher coordination complexity when seeking new or expanded power allocations from the local grid.

Deal activity remains thin relative to market size. The OnZero joint venture represents the only recent tracked transaction, suggesting measured M&A velocity in the Helsinki operator base. Equinix's seven-site presence and Telia Company's three-site footprint indicate consolidation around established regional players with existing grid relationships and infrastructure leverage. Microsoft's two tracked facilities reflect selective presence by hyperscale builders rather than aggressive expansion. The absence of major recent acquisition or greenfield announcements in Helsinki proper contrasts with accelerating activity elsewhere in Finland—notably Heim's undisclosed investment round announced in October 2026 and multiple Lapland-based renewable energy projects targeting data center development at substantially larger scales.
