Summary

73% Informative

eStruxture Data Centers is building a new $750-million facility near Calgary .

It will be the largest of the company’s 16 facilities across Canada .

Alberta has made a giant push to attract billions of dollars of data centres to the province.

The development is designed to deliver 90 megawatts of power contracted from the Alberta grid.

The company's CEO believes Alberta is well positioned to become home to more centres.

Many tech companies have net-zero plans, and the ability to decarbonize — such as using carbon capture and storage with natural gas-fired facilities — is important for data centres.

Customers have immediate needs to build and operate data centres, but will also want to see plans to lower emissions.

Alberta is one of the only jurisdictions in Canada that can grow generation to meet that need.
