eStruxture plans $750 million data center in Alberta to boost AI capacity

eStruxture Data Centers plans to build a new $750 million data center in Alberta, set to open in fall 2026. This facility will have a capacity of 90 megawatts, making it one of Canada's most powerful data centers, significantly larger than most existing ones. Alberta aims to become a key location for AI data centers, supported by its available land and reliable power supply. The province has introduced strategies to attract data center investments, hoping to draw $100 billion in the next five years. Currently, Alberta has 22 data centers, but the new facility will boost its capacity significantly. The province's energy mix relies heavily on fossil fuels, and proposed data centers could account for a large portion of Canada's future energy use.
