Notes on site size and building permit

Site area is 3 - 30 hectares, the buildable area is 2 – 20 hectares.

Shape and topography:

• Kapuli IIc: already leveled and ready to build. Soil condition: broken rocks.

• Kapuli III: will be leveled beforehand. Soil condition: broken rocks, moraine.

Municipality of Mäntsälä owns approximately 100 hectares of land at the Kapuli Industrial Area.

Approximately 38 hectares of the area has been zoned so far. The rest of the area will also be zoned as an industrial and logistics area in the next few years.

In addition, there are plans for a road connecting Sälinkääntie road to Kehä V; this connection will go across the area.

The lot to be sold (unseparated parcels of land) are owned by the municipality, and the construction of buildings for industrial and logistics purposes is allowed under the current city plan, as is the case already with the headquarters and logistics center of Tokmanni retail store chain (71 700 square meters) and a private investor's hall (4000 square meters).

In practice, a water pipe and a sewer have already been constructed reaching the border of the lot, and there is also a natural gas pipeline nearby.

Moreover, district heating is available from the neighbors.

At its natural state, the lot was forested land with bedrock outcrops, the soil was leveled in 2008-2009 to the present height using soil excavated from the area.

Existing power systems

Kapuli Business Park enjoys electric power supplies of first-rate dependability, with sufficient capacity ensured through the connection of Mäntsälän Sähkö Oy (local energy company) at two key points in the Finnish national grid. This means that the Business Park can draw a guaranteed 1-50 MW of electrical power from three electricity stations through either of two power lines. In Finland, you can seek best bids for the electricity.

The 110kV Regional Grid

Mäntsälän Sähkö has begun designing a new, third 110 kV power transmission line directly from the Hikiä generating plant to the substation at Kapuli Business Park. The new line will further improve the dependability of electric power supplies to data centers in the Kapuli area. It is estimated that the new transmission line will be completed in 2017, whereupon Kapuli will be served by three independent 110 kV power cables from two (three) separate connection points on the national grid. The construction work will also duplicate the outgoing transmission line connection at Hikiä to supply two separate substations. Each of the three 110 kV transmission lines will be capable of supplying about 150 MW of electric power to Mäntsälä.

There will be no minimum connection limit for the Mäntsälän Sähkö 110 kV regional network, so a new operating point beginning at low peak power may be connected to the regional network by bilateral agreement. This will give you flexibility in timing investments, and the freedom to develop your operations without the constraints of a connection limit.

Local green energy

Details on local green energy (suppliers)

The local power company, Nivos, is a shareholder in a company called Suomen Voima that seeks to source electricity generating capacity, thereby enabling participation in larger projects. Nivos can use this stake to study the prospects for participating in the procurement of generating shares in new Finnish power plants. We are also interested in studying the feasibility of working with you to build a competitive biofuel-fired CHP generating plant.

We now have the technology to fit solar panels on the roof of a building and generate about 1 MW of power. This energy is not subject to excise tax when the energy is used in-house.

Opportunities to utilize waste heat

• Any excess heat from operations such as cooling may be transmitted for further use. Our proposal for your cooling solution is customized district-cooling. This would lower your investment cost as well as cost of energy.

• If you choose Mäntsälä to be the site for your data center we can build a facility that would produce both heat and cooling using heat pump technology.

Data Sovereignty in Finland

States that have adopted strict legislation on data protection generally tend to be more favorable to the placement of datacenters than states without or lacking sufficient legal framework of data sovereignty.

The legislative environment of Finland is quite different even from the other Nordic countries. In Finland the right of privacy of any communication is a basic right that is inviolable and there is a strong legal protection over governmental surveillance of digital information.

The favorable legislation to store and handle information has led many data center operators to establish business in Finland. The Government of Finland still intends to hold on firmly to this leading position in the world of digitalization and framework necessary for growth of this digital industry will be sustained also in the future.

Employment in Finland

Accident and Pension Insurance

The employer has a statutory obligation to take out accident and pension insurance for the employees; the employees are also provided with group life assurance and unemployment insurance in connection with the statutory accident insurance. The employer must arrange for statutory occupational health care.

Tax and Social Security

The employer is responsible for paying any withheld taxes and social security contributions to the tax authorities, and for submitting annual notifications to the tax authorities, and the pension and accident insurance companies, with information on the wages and salaries paid to employees.

Terms and Conditions of Employment

Working hours

Regular working hours are usually at most 8 daily hours and 40 weekly hours. In a two week period the working hours are not more than 80 hours and in a three week period 120 hours. The weekly hours may also be arranged in longer periods during which the average weekly hours do not exceed 40 hours. Working hours may be arranged by law or collective agreements alternatively, for example in two or three week periods.

Holidays

An employee has a right to receive pay also for the time he/she is on annual holiday. Normally holiday leave accumulates 2 days (when employment has lasted less than 1 year) or 2 1/2 days for each holiday credit month. Normal wages are paid for the time an employee is on holiday.

Sick pay

According to the law, an employee who is unable to work due to an illness or an accident is entitled to paid sick leave. Wages are paid for the day when the illness started and for the working days. If the employment relationship at the start of the disability has lasted for at least one month, the employee will be paid full wages for the said period. If the employment relationship has lasted for a period shorter than one month, half of the wages will be paid for the same period.
