Construction on Alberta data centres could start this year, as several major proposals are already drawing attention. The province is working to attract investment while addressing questions over power, water, land, and community support.

Projects in Olds and Keephills are among those being considered. Alberta says gigawatt-scale artificial intelligence data centre announcements could be coming soon, but which ones could get the green light remains to be seen.

The province faces challenges in balancing rapid development with resource management. Power, water, and land availability are key concerns, along with ensuring community support for these large-scale projects.
