Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta said Wednesday it will invest more than $9.1 billion (€8.4bn) to build its first artificial intelligence data centre in Canada and its largest outside the United States.
The facility will be built in Sturgeon County, Alberta, and powered by a natural gas-fired plant being developed by a consortium that includes Calgary-based Pembina Pipeline Ltd.
Technology and Innovation Minister Nate Glubish called the project "a big deal for Alberta," saying the province had created a regulatory framework to attract data centre investment.
