This is in Sunalta on 11th Ave. It looks new but don’t remember seeing this here on SRC.

Rubber stamping ai data centres when the grid can't power them and there is a worsening water crisis is a terrible idea. But of course the UCP doesn't give a shit.
Don't the proposed data centres have their own, separate power sources (nat gas)?
 
Rubber stamping ai data centres when the grid can't power them and there is a worsening water crisis is a terrible idea. But of course the UCP doesn't give a shit.
The transmission doesn't exist to allow data centers to pull huge amounts from the grid unless they coloate next to large generators.

Alberta has four competitive advantages:
1) deregulated energy market that allows consumers to contract directly with generators

2) cold weather that reduces cooling costs

3) large quantities of stranded natural gas resulting in the world's lowest cost resrouce

4) generally less NIMBYist culture

The Province will need to move quickly to capture data center footprint and that will likely require quashing the ability of local governments and interest groups to delay projects
