Meta Platforms will invest C$13 billion in a new artificial intelligence data centre in Alberta. This facility will be Meta's first Canadian data centre and a significant AI infrastructure project. The campus will offer substantial computing capacity and create thousands of jobs during construction. Alberta was chosen for its land, energy resources, and supportive regulatory environment. The project aligns with Meta's global expansion to meet growing AI computing demands.

What will be Canada's largest data centre campus in Sturgeon Country, about 35 km north of Edmonton, will be geared towards AI workloads.

We’re breaking ground on a new 1GW, AI-optimized data center in Sturgeon County, Alberta — our first data center in Canada and 33rd in our global fleet.
