"We already have challenges with our electrical system," said Alberta Finance Minister Nate Horner, expressing caution about any unintended consequences that could impact utility bills. "You really need to get an understanding of what the return on investment would be for the province; that's why we're digging into it." This reflects a need to balance investment opportunities with potential risks, particularly in how they affect energy consumption and costs.
Alberta cabinet ministers aim to promote the province as a "prime location" for data centres, recognizing the immense opportunity while also grappling with its natural gas-dominated electricity grid's pollution concerns. The competition with other provinces, especially Quebec and Ontario, highlights the importance of both geography and infrastructure in attracting tech investments.
