74% Informative

Alberta has at least six data-centre applications in the early stages of development that would use about 3,000 megawatts ( MW ) of power.

The Alberta government has recently made a concerted effort to promote the province as a data centre destination.

Alberta has an energy-only electricity market in which generators are only paid for the energy they produce.
