Meta says it will build its first data centre in Canada: a 1-gigawatt campus in central Alberta valued at C$13 billion (about US$9 billion). The new site will be located in Sturgeon County, northeast of Edmonton. The company describes the project as part of its ongoing global data-centre expansion, drawing parallels to large-scale facilities it has been constructing in the United States, including its Hyperion campus in Louisiana.
According to coverage of the deal, Alberta’s government has moved to finalize the agreement for the project. Meta also plans additional local investment of around C$60 million aimed at supporting surrounding infrastructure, including upgrades related to roads and water systems.
Across sources, the core elements are consistent: Meta is entering Canada with a new, large-capacity data-centre campus in Alberta, the project’s headline valuation is C$13 billion, and the company includes a separate commitment to infrastructure improvements in the region. The reporting does not provide full construction timelines or operating dates.
