50MW AI-optimized colocation — purpose-built for the demands of modern AI workloads. First-mover in Western Alberta. Operational by 2027.
Alberta's cold climate enables free-air economization 8,000+ hours per year — achieving PUE below 1.3 versus the Canadian average of 1.58. A structural cost advantage, permanently.
FortisAlberta agreement already registered on title. Cogeneration (CHP) on-site power generation provides grid independence. Alberta's deregulated market enables competitive renewable PPAs.
New federal and provincial AI data regulations are driving enterprises to keep data in Canada. NorthGrid is the only AI-optimized colocation facility in the Edmonton–Jasper corridor.
30–100kW per rack. Liquid cooling ready. Tier III architecture. Designed from day one for GPU-dense inference and training workloads — not retrofitted legacy IT infrastructure.
Alberta SuperNet fibre backbone provides enterprise-grade connectivity through Yellowhead County. Dual fibre entry and cloud on-ramp infrastructure built into Phase 1.
No competing AI-optimized facility within 200km. Cologix and eStruxture are racing to build in Calgary — Western Alberta is unserved. NorthGrid owns that market.
37.21 acres of Alberta fee-simple land with existing utility infrastructure — FortisAlberta power and Yellowhead Gas Co-op already registered on title. Room to scale from 5MW to 50MW without relocating.

We're building the compute foundation that Canadian AI companies, enterprises, and institutions need to operate at scale — on Canadian soil, at world-class efficiency.
NorthGrid AI Datacenter was founded on a straightforward observation: Canada's AI infrastructure boom is happening, the demand is real and growing at 40%+ annually — but the supply, especially in Western Alberta, doesn't exist yet.
We're changing that. By repositioning 37.21 acres of existing Alberta land and utility infrastructure into a purpose-built AI colocation facility, NorthGrid will deliver 20MW of Phase 1 capacity by 2027 and scale to 50MW — serving AI startups, enterprise, government, and hyperscale customers who need Canadian-jurisdiction compute.
Our Western Alberta site gives us a structural advantage no competitor can replicate: Alberta's cold climate, deregulated power market, and existing utility connections that would take years and millions to establish elsewhere.
New federal AI regulations and enterprise ESG commitments are driving demand for Canadian-jurisdiction compute. US hyperscalers cannot satisfy this requirement. NorthGrid can.
Alberta's deregulated energy market delivers 20–35% lower industrial power costs versus Ontario or BC. Power is the dominant operating cost in datacenter economics — our advantage is permanent.
Free-air economization 8,000+ hours per year. PUE target below 1.3 versus industry average of 1.58. This translates directly to lower tenant costs and better economics for every workload we host.
eStruxture and Cologix are building in Calgary metro. NorthGrid is 200km+ from the nearest competitor — the entire Edmonton–Jasper corridor is unserved AI colo demand.
High-density, liquid-cooling-ready, Tier III architecture designed for 30–100kW per rack GPU deployments from day one.
Close bank debt financing. Retire all secured mortgages. Clear title to NorthGrid AI Datacenter Inc. Site secured and legally clean.
FortisAlberta 20MW interconnect. Site grading, access roads, perimeter security. Development and building permits. CHP cogeneration groundwork.
Tier III AI-optimized facility. Free-air cooling infrastructure. Liquid cooling distribution. Dual fibre, cloud on-ramps. First rack deployments with anchor tenants.
Additional power interconnects. Building expansion. Hyperscaler and enterprise tenant pipeline. Full 50MW operational with revenue funding further expansion.
NorthGrid is designed to be Alberta's most sustainable AI datacenter — not retrofitted, not aspirational. Built in from the ground up.
Yellowhead County's cold climate enables free-air economization 8,000+ hours per year — eliminating chillers during most of the year and cutting cooling energy by 30–40% versus the national average PUE of 1.58.
Natural gas-fired Combined Heat & Power units generate electricity on-site and capture waste heat for absorption cooling. Reduces grid dependence, cuts transmission losses, and enables surplus power to be sold back to Alberta's deregulated market.
All cooling uses closed-loop glycol circuits — no evaporative water consumption. Critical for Alberta where water scarcity is a growing regulatory concern. Best practice from day one.
On-site lithium-ion BESS stabilizes demand cycles, provides UPS-grade backup power, and participates in Alberta's demand response programs — generating revenue during peak grid events while improving resilience.
Alberta's energy-only deregulated market allows direct Virtual Power Purchase Agreements with wind and solar developers. A defined percentage of annual consumption sourced from renewables — supporting tenant ESG reporting and net-zero commitments.
Server waste heat captured via liquid cooling loops can be redistributed for greenhouse agriculture heating, district heating pilots, or industrial drying in Yellowhead County — transforming an emissions liability into a community asset.
Institutional AI customers — from large enterprises to government departments — now have mandatory ESG reporting requirements. Choosing NorthGrid means your compute infrastructure contributes to, rather than detracts from, your sustainability commitments.
