Meta's First Canadian Data Center in Alberta

planned

Meta plans to invest $13 billion to build its first Canadian data center in Alberta. The 1-gigawatt facility is designed to scale up to 1.8 gigawatts and will be Meta's 33rd global data center, supporting the company's expansion in artificial intelligence infrastructure. The project will create over 3,000 construction jobs and 300 permanent operational roles, and includes a $60 million commitment to upgrade local roads and water systems. It will be supported by a separate $4.6 billion natural gas power plant backed by Pembina Pipeline Corporation, Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners, and Kineticor under the Project Greenlight initiative.
