Some natural gas producers are still hoping to lure data centre developers to Western Canada .

Alberta lags other provinces when it comes to the number of data centres it has operating.

The deal was praised by Alberta Technology Minister Nate Glubish , whose government is aggressively courting investment from tech firms in data centre infrastructure.

Off-grid data centre development would diversify markets for natural gas producers, experts say.

But there remains a live debate over the extent to which energy demand can grow from advances in AI and data storage.

“There’s way more heat than light right now in terms of what people think the potential for this is”.
