Capacity basis: Announced data-centre capacity (MW)
DC Intel assessment
Highly Credible
Why
Master site permit issued; site preparation underway; Meta publicly committed >C$13B; 250 MW long-term Capital Power supply; dedicated 932 MW Greenlight plant approved with FID; major EPC counterparties.
Risk
Initial service depends on construction and interim power before dedicated plant reaches service.
Watch
Main-campus vertical construction and first data-hall commissioning / 2028-29 service milestones.
Power strategy
250 MW contracted supply initially; approved 932 MW dedicated gas generation later; AESO Phase I GLDC load contract is 970 MW.
An AESO request is not an allocation.
