Low-Carbon Data Centers

Net Zero Now Progresses on its Energy Campus in Alberta

Net Zero Now has completed environmental assessments for its inaugural energy campus in Alberta, signaling meaningful progress in the development of its low-carbon infrastructure strategy. The 320-acre site was strategically selected to align with the specific infrastructure and geographic requirements of both electricity generation facilities and data center operations.

This development comes at a critical juncture for Alberta’s rapidly expanding data center sector. Currently, data centers have "submitted applications totaling 16,229 megawatts (MW) of load capacity to the provincial electricity grid; in response to this surge in demand, the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) has implemented an interim large load connection cap of 1,200 MW, creating a significant constraint on growth."

Net Zero Now’s energy campus is positioned to directly address this challenge by enabling scalable access to reliable power in a location optimized for high-performance data center operations. The project supports both the energy transition and digital infrastructure expansion in one of Canada’s most active technology markets.
