A Prairie-Built Power Plan for the Next Generation of AI
In Southern Alberta, you won’t run into the same bottlenecks that traditional hubs are currently experiencing, like grid strain, scarce land, and cooling challenges. Nor will you face a lack of infrastructure like emerging rural markets.
This region is free from the limitations holding other sites back, and offers an abundance of natural resources to support renewable-powered AI data centers.
Where the Sky’s the Limit for Hyperscale AI Growth
This region has become home to the Travers Solar Project, Canada’s largest solar facility, which has a generating capacity of 465 MW.
300+ Sunny Days a Year
Our strong winds have destroyed the topsoil, but it powers 249 wind turbines on two large-scale wind farms with a combined capacity of 795 MW.
Frequent High Winds
Nearby are the largest reservoirs in the Bow River Irrigation District, together holding about 195.5 billion gallons of water, with more to divert for pumped hydro.
Three Water Reservoirs
With less than 350 mm of annual rainfall and four to five cold months each year, this region has the right climate for running high-efficiency cooling systems.
Cold and Dry Climate
Just two hours away, Calgary ranks #17 among North America’s leading tech markets—providing a pipeline of skilled workers ready to support AI growth in the region.
Close to a Fast-Rising Tech Hub
With thousands of acres to spare, this region can host multiple AI data centers and renewable energy sites, while allowing farming to continue.
Lots of Room to Grow
We’re Rolling Out the Welcome Mat for Hyperscalers
Other communities might resist, but we’re saying, “come our way.”
Palliser Grid is a movement led by farmers who refuse to let our small towns wither away. We see AI development as a chance to lead in agricultural innovation, strengthen our communities, and put the future of our family farms in our hands.
Our Plan to Go From Greenfield to Brownfield
We’re getting to work on building a 5 GW AI and clean energy corridor in Southern Alberta—which can be used as a blueprint for rural growth across Canada.
Phase 1:
First Hyperscale Foundation
Build a 400 MW AI data center connected to Alberta’s grid through a 240 kV substation, supported by lithium iron phosphate battery storage, and a thermal management reservoir.
Phase 2:
Grow the AI Corridor
Expand capacity to 2 GW with construction of a pumped hydro facility and expanded battery storage. Introduce multi-tenant data centers and agrivoltaics to keep farmland productive.
Phase 3:
Full Regional Clean Grid
Complete a 5 GW renewable energy and AI ecosystem, with 3–4 GW of long-duration storage, 4 GW interconnected transmission, and 10-12 GW of solar and wind.
Be First to Put Down Roots for Your AI Data Center Campus
Southern Alberta is still a hidden gem, but word is getting out. The land is available, the region is power-ready, and the chance to work with a community-led movement is rare. Those who act first will secure the best sites for scalability, lock in favorable long-term agreements, and have the ability to customize their campus exactly to their needs.
Early movers will also earn positive recognition as pioneers in Alberta’s emerging AI corridor—staking their claim on the Prairies before rising demand drives up costs and competition. Get in before the rush.
