COPENHAGEN: Google will invest almost US$700mil (RM2.93bil) in a Danish data centre powered by the abundant green energy that underpins power-intensive companies' interest in the Nordic region.

Google also said it would sign a power purchase agreement (PPA) for the new Danish datacentre to ensure it is powered by renewable energy.
