Meta’s $13B AI Data Center in Alberta | Canada News
Description
Meta’s $13 billion AI data center in Alberta is set to become Canada’s largest tech investment, powering the AI boom with 1,800 megawatts of energy — but not without controversy. While the province celebrates 3,000 construction jobs and 300 permanent roles, critics question reliance on fossil fuels, raise concerns about infrasound and water use despite Meta’s dry-cooling tech, and urge a stronger push toward wind and solar. Construction has begun, with full operation targeted for 2030 — a landmark move for Meta’s global network and Alberta’s tech future.
