North Grid is building Alberta's next-generation AI data centre campus — power-ready, BYOG-compliant, and purpose-built for the demands of hyperscale compute and sovereign cloud.
What We Offer
4.2 MW grid-connected today with on-site gas CHP providing islanding capability. BYOG-compliant under Alberta AR 117/2026 — structured for priority grid connection as we scale.
Canadian-owned, no US parent company, no CLOUD Act exposure. Purpose-built for defence, government, and regulated industries requiring true data sovereignty within Five Eyes frameworks.
Dedicated Bell Canada fibre run to the campus property line. 30 Gbps initial capacity scaling to 100 Gbps by Q4 2027. Redundant routing designed for mission-critical workloads.
22 private data suites in Phase 1 (~1,500 sq. ft. each). A defined expansion pathway from 4.2 MW → 25 MW → 100 MW on existing land, funded through PPAs and gas infrastructure partnership without dilutive equity raises.
Years of greenfield entitlement work already complete. 126,000 sq. ft. of existing industrial buildings, licensed water rights (58,590 m³/year), and installed cooling. Ready now, not in 2028.
Acquisition, joint development, or anchor tenancy — we structure to fit your strategy. Preferred structure for defence and government is a Joint Development Agreement with North Grid carrying operational risk.
The Moment
Following the 2026 US Democratic midterms, 45% of planned US data centre capacity is now at regulatory risk. Alberta is absorbing that demand — and North Grid is already built.
Sanders/AOC moratorium legislation has placed 45% of planned US data centre capacity at risk (Goldman Sachs, Oct 2026). Texas, Georgia, and Ohio — the three largest US DC markets — are now under Democratic control. Hyperscalers are actively re-routing to Canada.
90% of Canada's planned hyperscale DC investment is targeting Alberta. Meta's C$13B, 1 GW announcement in Sturgeon County (July 2026) validated the market at scale. The province has set a C$100B investment target — and North Grid is already BYOG-compliant.
Canadian defence, healthcare, and financial services are under increasing pressure to avoid US-jurisdiction infrastructure. North Grid — no US parent, no CLOUD Act exposure, Five Eyes-compatible — commands a structural premium over US-owned operators in this market.
Alberta's AR 117/2026 requires 75 MW+ facilities to bring offsetting generation. North Grid's gas CHP model is already structured around this. Competitors building greenfield sites are still applying for permits and sourcing generation — we have a 2–3 year head start.

About North Grid
North Grid was founded on a simple observation: the infrastructure the next decade of AI demands already exists in Alberta — it just needs to be unlocked. We're doing that.
Our Story
North Grid began with a question: why are hyperscalers spending billions on greenfield development in Alberta when industrial brownfield sites with power, water, and connectivity already exist?
The answer was permitting, entitlement, and generation compliance. We solved all three. Our campus in Peers, Alberta brings together an existing industrial footprint, a gas pipeline agreement with Vermilion Energy, dedicated Bell Canada fibre, and a development model already aligned with AR 117/2026 before the regulation existed.
The result is a platform that can deliver operational capacity years ahead of any greenfield alternative — at a fraction of the entitlement risk.
The Team
Infrastructure entrepreneur and P.Eng. Founder/operator of Infra-Con and Connex, with major project, construction and industrial asset experience.
Entrepreneur and public-company executive; founder and former Chairman of MYM Nutraceuticals. Leads capital strategy, corporate development and investor relationships.
Senior energy and infrastructure executive with 20 years of experience delivering complex, large-scale energy projects, including senior roles with Honeywell and Eaton.
Milestones
37.21-acre brownfield industrial campus secured in Peers, Alberta (Yellowhead County). Existing 126,000 sq. ft. of industrial buildings, ammonia chillers, and licensed water rights.
4.2 MW grid connection established. Bell Canada fibre route negotiated and crossing agreement signed. Vermilion Energy gas pipeline crossing agreement executed — 800m route confirmed.
22-suite data centre conversion underway. BYOG-compliant gas CHP generation model developed and aligned with anticipated Alberta regulation.
AR 117/2026 enacted — North Grid already compliant. Meta C$13B Sturgeon County announcement. US midterms accelerate demand displacement to Alberta. Strategic outreach underway.
What We Stand For
North Grid is a Canadian company building Canadian infrastructure. No US parent, no foreign-jurisdiction data obligations. We exist specifically to give Canadian and allied-nation operators a sovereign alternative.
We don't sell future capacity. We've secured the land, the power, the water licence, the fibre route, and the gas crossing. The hard work of entitlement is done. What we're building, we can deliver.
We don't build speculatively. Our development model is designed to be shaped by our anchor tenant or partner. If you're defence, we build for that. If you're hyperscale AI, we build for that.
Alberta's grid is under pressure. Our on-site gas CHP model means North Grid brings its own generation, reducing rather than adding to grid strain. BYOG compliance isn't a constraint — it's our model.
Technology
North Grid is designed from the ground up for high-density AI and HPC workloads — with the power redundancy, cooling capacity, and connectivity that hyperscale operators require.

Why Alberta
Alberta combines deregulated power markets, low land costs, cold climate cooling advantages, a pro-business provincial government, and — now — the most concentrated AI data centre investment on the continent.
Six Structural Advantages
Alberta operates a deregulated electricity market — operators can contract directly with generators, structure PPAs, and bring their own generation. No bureaucratic utility approval required for BYOG. This is structurally impossible in BC, Ontario, or Quebec.
Following the 2026 US midterms, Goldman Sachs estimates 45% of planned US data centre capacity is now at regulatory risk. Texas, Georgia, and Ohio — the three largest US DC markets — are under Democratic control. Alberta is the nearest, most capable alternative jurisdiction.
The Alberta government has set an explicit C$100B data centre investment target. Meta's C$13B, 1 GW announcement in Sturgeon County (July 2026) was the first major validation. The province is offering fast-tracked permitting, infrastructure co-investment, and regulatory alignment for qualifying projects.
Alberta's cold climate enables free-air cooling for a significant portion of the year, dramatically reducing PUE and energy costs vs. southern US facilities. Combined with on-site water rights, North Grid's cooling costs are structurally lower than any US equivalent.
Canada is not subject to the US CLOUD Act. Data stored in Canadian facilities under Canadian ownership cannot be compelled for disclosure by US law enforcement without Canadian consent. For defence, government, healthcare, and financial services, this is a legal, not just a marketing, distinction.
Alberta is absorbing the vast majority of Canada's hyperscale data centre investment — not BC, not Ontario. The combination of power deregulation, land availability, government support, and BYOG compliance has made it the clear destination for operators who've looked at the whole country.
