Alberta Technology and Innovation

“Well, I can tell you that the approach that we're taking, just looking at the experience elsewhere, is if any data centers want to come to Alberta, just have an integrated approach where you can bring your own power with you. We've got about 7000 megawatts of power that is being proposed for data centers. We have a robust natural gas, we've got carbon capture to offset emissions. We've got geothermal, solar, wind, got batteries, we've got lithium, we've got water, we've got a cold climate to make it a lot more attractive when it comes to, to trying to cool, cool them down. And we've got access to a really talented and technical team of people who are, are able to to, to staff up and, and, and build those centers.” Premier Danielle Smith Kevin O'Leary Fox Business Network Neeraj Gupta Ashif Mawji Harish Consul Vlad Oujegov Rick Christiaanse, C.Dir Invest Alberta Joe Lougheed, KC James Lochrie Crystal Phillips Cam Linke Nicole Janssen Cory Janssen Brad Zumwalt Deanna Zumwalt, CA, ICD.D Courtney Cathcart Tim Lynn Zack Storms Patrick Lor
