Alberta’s approach to AI data centres, in plain language

Power, water, land and jobs — where to find the province’s own answers, and how AHI approaches each one.

Alberta’s approach to AI data centres, in plain languageAlberta · the province’s approach

Alberta has set out its approach to AI data centres in its AI Data Centres Strategy and through the province’s own public resources, including the Alberta Data Centre Concierge program. The questions the province is answering — power, water, land use and jobs — are the same ones our neighbours in Red Deer County ask.

Power: AHI generates its own power behind the fence, with a grid interconnection pathway designed to add supply to Alberta’s system over time. Water: zero municipal water — a sealed closed loop. Land: an established heavy-industrial park, not farmland. Jobs: Alberta trades and firms hired first, and an operations team that grows with every hall.

The province’s resources are linked from AHI’s Community Information page, alongside AHI’s own plain-language answers.

AHI — AI Hub of Innovation is developed by Havenz Smart Communities (Lead Developer) in partnership with Turning Stone Developments (Lead Investor); both are general partners of AHI.
