Resident survey on the impact of the planned data centre in Jokela
Jokelan Vihreä Maa Oy is planning a data centre project in Jokela, Tuusula, along Vallunlenkki. An environmental impact assessment (EIA) procedure is currently underway for the project, as part of which a resident survey is being conducted.
The planned project involves the construction of a data centre and an associated power line in the municipalities of Tuusula and Nurmijärvi. The data centre will be located in the northern part of the municipality of Tuusula, in the western business park of Jokela, along Vallunlenkki. The centre’s electricity requirements will be met by connecting to Fingrid’s transmission grid via a new 110 kV power line. The overhead power line will connect to the Nurmijärvi substation, located in the municipality of Nurmijärvi.
The project’s impacts will be assessed through an environmental impact assessment (EIA) procedure. The EIA procedure will examine two implementation options (Option 1 and Option 2) as well as a scenario in which the project is not implemented (Option 0). The implementation options differ in terms of the power line route.
To support the EIA procedure, a resident survey is being conducted for residents, holiday home owners, property owners and business operators in the project’s surrounding area. Anyone else who wishes to do so may also respond to the survey. The survey aims to ascertain the current use of the project’s impact area and residents’ views on the project’s potential impacts, relating to, amongst other things, living conditions and recreational use.
The online survey will be open from 16 April to 3 May 2026, and can be accessed via the QR code and link below.
