Alberta's data centre market is characterized by a significant concentration of facilities in the Calgary and Edmonton areas, with 34 operational data centres across these two cities as of December 2025. The majority of these facilities are purpose-built, with an average size of 12,900 square feet and a total power capacity of 137 megawatts. Notably, 62% of Alberta's data centre inventory is owned and operated by domestic companies, while international players account for the remaining 38%. The market's growth has been driven largely by demand from the oil and gas, finance, and government sectors, which require secure and reliable data storage and processing capabilities. In terms of connectivity, Alberta's data centres are supported by a network of fibre optic cables and major internet exchange points, including the Calgary Internet Exchange and the Edmonton Internet Exchange. With a total of 542,000 square feet of data centre space currently under development, the market is poised for further expansion in 2026.
