Alberta prioritizes self-powering AI data centres with new rules to ease grid strain and boost clean energy.
Alberta is advancing legislation to prioritize AI data centres that generate their own power, aiming to manage grid strain and support clean energy goals.
The bill allows such facilities to access the grid first and exempts off-grid operations from a new 2% levy on large data centres, reduced to 1% for those producing their own electricity.
Starting in 2026, the levy will fund transmission upgrades and offset against corporate taxes.
With 37 applications pending and potential demand of 19 gigawatts—double current capacity—officials aim for 5,000 megawatts of new data centre capacity, with two projects expected to launch by 2028.
