Meta to build C$13 billion Alberta data centre, its first in Canada
Meta will build its first data centre in Canada, a 1-gigawatt campus in central Alberta that the company values at C$13 billion (about US$9 billion), extending the same relentless build-out that produced its $200 billion Hyperion campus in Louisiana.
The facility will rise in Sturgeon County, northeast of Edmonton, and become the company’s 33rd data centre worldwide.
Executives unveiled the project in Calgary on Wednesday alongside Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, whose government has spent years courting Silicon Valley in the hope of landing a marquee investment for the oil-and-gas province.
Meta described the site as its largest outside the United States, a claim that fits neatly with the surging capital budgets now reshaping the industry.
