The buildout in Alberta
We track 3 data center campuses of 100 MW or more in Alberta (1 announced, 1 proposed, 1 approved). Together they announce 8,730 MW at full buildout; weighted by build stage, we expect about 838 MW to be running by 2030. That load lands on the Alberta (AESO) grid. Named power suppliers: AESO grid; AESO grid + dedicated gas plant; Off-grid / on-site. The largest expected load is Meta Sturgeon County (350 MW by 2030, announced). Added natural gas burn, from grid-supplied and on-site generation, comes to about 118.8 MMcf/d on an average day.
