flag British Columbia limits electricity for AI data centers to favor mining and LNG, citing jobs and revenue.

flag British Columbia’s new energy policy prioritizes mining and LNG over AI data centers for new electricity allocations, aiming to boost job creation and royalty revenue. flag The government will review power access every two years through a competitive, cabinet-approved process amid rising demand. flag While AI projects face restricted access, the province remains attractive due to abundant clean energy and infrastructure like Simon Fraser University’s new supercomputer. flag Officials argue the move ensures economic stability and avoids rate hikes seen elsewhere, though critics warn it may deter AI investment.
