Making Money Minute with Ron Hiebert - Natural Gas & Data Centres
When data centres were just starting to roll out, the strategy was to determine a location and worry about the energy needed to run them later. Well that dynamic has changed. Growing demand for electricity means you have to secure supply first and build near it. Your billion dollar data centre will sit idle if it doesn’t have the juice to run it. This is where Alberta has a huge advantage. We have a surplus, of the ideal fuel for data centres. Natural gas can provide consistent low cost power. This can be a huge economic win for the province.
