Capacity basis: Proposed campus / on-site generation figure (MW)

DC Intel assessment

Early-Stage

Why

Defined site, provincial Major Projects listing and an AESO 400 MW load request show more than a concept; approvals are being pursued.

Risk

Final power architecture is unresolved: provincial listing says 400 MW on-site generation while AESO separately lists a 400 MW load request; no FID/customer.

Watch

Development approval and a clarified/approved power solution.

Power strategy

400 MW on-site generation proposed in provincial registry plus separate 400 MW AESO load request.

An AESO request is not an allocation.
