Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston stated that future provincial support for data centres will depend on their energy supply and safety considerations. Speaking on June 18, 2026, Houston emphasized that any new data centre projects must be carefully evaluated to ensure they align with the province's energy capacity and public safety standards. The premier's comments come amid growing interest in data centre investments in the region, but he stressed that Nova Scotia will not compromise on these critical factors. The announcement was made during a press conference in Debert, N.S., where Houston also discussed wildfire response measures.
