We count only offers whose data-centre country is published by the provider: 1 in Finland (Nebius), 2 in France (OVHcloud, Scaleway). If where your data sits matters (contracts, latency, GDPR transfer questions), this is the comparison that counts; otherwise the cheapest EU-wide L40S is €0.85/h at Seeweb.

Why Finland? Context in 3 lines

Power: €57/MWh wholesale (Sep 2026, cheapest of the 9 countries we track). Grid: 47 gCO₂/kWh (Jun 2026; EU average 189).
Mix: largest source nuclear (47% of generation), then wind (24%), Jun 2026.
Here: we track 3 public GPU prices from 1 provider with a data centre in Finland (Nebius).

GPU cloud prices are set by each provider; electricity is only one of their costs, so a cheap-power country doesn't guarantee cheap GPUs. Country averages from Ember (CC-BY-4.0), not a specific data centre's contract. Compare all countries →

Why France? Context in 3 lines

Power: €143/MWh wholesale (Sep 2026, 4th cheapest of 9). Grid: 30 gCO₂/kWh (Jun 2026; EU average 189).
