Pembina Pipeline is nearing a deal to build a large AI data centre northeast of Edmonton for Meta, according to sources cited by The Logic. The facility, planned for Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, would mark a significant boost to the province’s ambition of becoming a hub for AI hyperscalers.
Calgary-based Kineticor is expected to supply natural gas-fired power, while Beacon AI has also been involved. Pembina may provide gas through its Alliance pipeline. Regulatory details could be announced soon. The project underscores Alberta’s strategy to use natural gas and carbon capture to attract global technology leaders.
