Meta is constructing its first Canadian data center in Alberta, costing about $9 billion and expected to take two to three years. The 1 gigawatt facility aims to support Meta's growing AI infrastructure needs and potential cloud computing services, including selling excess capacity. Alberta was chosen for its abundant energy, strong infrastructure, and supportive regulations. The project will create over 3,000 construction jobs and involves collaboration with local energy firms and community partners. This move is part of Meta's strategy to compete with major cloud providers like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon in AI and cloud services.
