On November 25, 2025, the Alberta government announced new legislation that incentivizes data centres to generate their own power. The proposed Bill 8, the Utilities Statuses Amendment Act, would prioritize data centres that use their own generation, accelerating the approval process and supporting their connection to the grid. If passed, Bill 8 would help Alberta add data centres to the grid while maintaining reliability for residents.
Alberta has seen an increase in data centre proposals in 2025, with 29 as of November 2025. The total demand from the proposed projects significantly exceeds the province’s available electricity generation capacity. In June 2025, the province allocated 1.2 GW for new large-load data centres until 2028. However, proposed projects would demand 16 GW combined.
