Powering the future of compute
We build and operate integrated power-to-compute facilities. Our platforms support AI, cloud, and high-performance digital workloads.
Scaling into Alberta 2026
Phased Development
1GW+ by 2029
Infrastructure on your terms
Our roadmap supports the full spectrum of deployment models - from powered shell for hyperscalers that want full control, to fully managed GPU cloud for teams that just want to run workloads.
Whether you're a cloud provider, AI company, enterprise or miner, you can choose how much of the stack you own and how much you want us to run for you.

Data Twin
Operational intelligence for power-backed campuses, coming in 2026
Data Twin is our software layer for data centers and power plants, built to cut energy costs, improve resilience and create a path to a full digital twin using a phased, low-risk approach.
We start by unifying telemetry from power, cooling, IT and environment into a single data model and baseline dashboards.
On top of this, we deploy lightweight optimisation modules that run in advisory mode first, showing savings before anything is automated.
On top of this, we deploy lightweight optimisation modules that run in advisory mode first, showing savings before anything is automated.
With 12-24 months of real data, this evolves into Data Twin v1: an operational digital twin that simulates thermal/energy behavior, safely tests new control strategies, and supports CAPEX decisions.
Cooling & Energy Optimization
Tune cooling and overhead energy by linking IT load, outside weather and HVAC setpoints, typically improving PUE by a few percentage points and saving millions per year on large sites.
Workload Scheduling
Align flexible workloads with cheaper power, distinguishing real-time vs batch/train jobs and proposing schedules that shift non-critical work into lower-cost windows.
Incident Correlation
Correlate incidents across power, OT/BMS and IT, so operators see one coherent incident timeline instead of three silos, reducing critical events, downtime and MTTR.
Over time, Data Twin can extend across sites and generation assets for portfolio-level optimization.
Now in closed beta
All set! You'll hear from us at launch.
Our Mission
To transform energy into enduring digital infrastructure
Our aim is straight-forward: to be an engine of economic growth, a hub of innovation, and a long-term platform that strengthens regional competitiveness.
High-density compute and on-site energy
Public-private collaborations across global IT and energy leaders
Optimized for AI/ML workloads & low-latency interconnects
Digital transformation, grid-aware operations, and decarbonization
Phased expansion, standardized O&M & measurable ESGs
Tiered, modular DC blocks co-located with dispatchable power
Doing our part
To achieve our long-term goals, we must first help strengthen local technological foundations by:
Supporting innovators:
Prioritizing actions that benefit individuals and organizations pursuing ambitious and groundbreaking initiatives.
Investing in becoming an exceptional customer:
Enhancing public services, shaping AI markets, and strengthening the local ecosystem.
Attracting capital and talent:
Positioning our projects as attractive destinations for top-tier talent, while drawing global investors eager to fund AI infrastructure ventures.
Our next stop:
Alberta
1GW+ of IT capacity
Alberta is on the right track by positioning project regions as AI "creators", not just consumers.
As technology advances, Alberta is striving to be a partner for frontline AI development - ensuring it reaps economic rewards from AI innovation while influencing the values, safety, and governance of future AI systems.
Regions that invest in AI infrastructure will enjoy benefits such as accelerated economic growth, the revitalization of former industrial areas, and ownership of critical strategic assets.
This is the foundation of every Data District project.
Ethics & Code of Conduct
Trust is the foundation of every partnership we build.
Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct sets out the standards that guide our decisions, relationships, and day-to-day operations, ensuring responsible, compliant, and fair business practices across all our projects. It explains the behaviors we expect from ourselves and our partners.
