Sunly intends to construct the Baltic region's largest data center in Risti, Estonia, with a budget of €1.7 billion ($1.94 billion). This facility will be the largest electricity consumer in Estonia and aims to enhance infrastructure for artificial intelligence by leveraging local renewable energy.

The construction is expected to generate 150 jobs, with parts of the data center potentially operational by 2028. Sunly, which operates 1GW of renewable energy in Estonia, Latvia, and Poland, plans to power the center with a nearby solar park and is also developing additional renewable projects in the region. The planning application is anticipated to take up to eight months.
