社交媒体巨头 Meta 宣布将在加拿大阿尔伯塔省的斯特奇恩县（Sturgeon County）投资建设其在美国境外规模最大的人工智能数据中心 [1]。该项目总投资额超过 91 亿美元 [1]。作为该项目的配套基础设施，还将投入约 4200 万美元用于相关建设 [1]。
这一巨型设施将由 Pembina Pipeline 等公司联合开发的天然气发电厂供电，具体为名为 Greenlight Electricity Center 的发电站提供电力支持 [1]。该发电站的容量预计达到 932 兆瓦 [1]。根据规划，数据中心预计在 2030 年下半年投入运营 [1]。
阿尔伯塔省技术与创新部长内特·格鲁比什（Nate Glubish）表示：“这对阿尔伯塔来说是一笔大交易”[1]。
Social media giant Meta has announced plans to construct its first artificial intelligence data center in Alberta, Canada, with a total investment exceeding $9.1 billion [1]. This facility will represent Meta's largest data center outside of the United States and is scheduled to begin operations in the second half of 2030 [1]. The project location has been identified as Sturgeon County in Alberta [1].
To support this massive infrastructure, an accompanying investment of $42 million is planned for related facilities [1]. Powering the site will be a natural gas-fired power plant developed jointly by Pembina Pipeline and other companies, known as the Greenlight Electricity Center [1]. This generation facility has a capacity of 932 megawatts [1].
Local officials have highlighted the significance of the project. Alberta's Technology and Innovation Minister Nate Glubish described the initiative as "a big deal for Alberta" [1].
