Canada's Data Center Power Summit
Solving the grid. Scaling the future. The national gathering for decision-makers building, powering, funding, and regulating the digital infrastructure that will define Canada's economic competitiveness for the next decade.
About The Event
Canada's Data Center Power Summit is the national gathering for the decision-makers building, powering, funding, and regulating the digital infrastructure that will define Canada's economic competitiveness for the next decade. As the AI revolution drives unprecedented demand for compute capacity, Canada faces its defining challenge: connecting data centers to power at the speed the market demands. Held in Toronto — the heart of Canada's largest data center corridor — this summit unites utility operators, hyperscalers, developers, investors, policymakers, and technology providers to confront the grid crisis head-on and accelerate the path to scalable, sustainable digital infrastructure across Canada.
Topics At A Glance
Topics To Be Discussed
Four strategic tracks covering the defining issues shaping Canada's data center power landscape — from grid interconnection and nuclear power to AI-ready design, permitting, and market investment strategy.
- Canada's grid crisis: province-by-province capacity reality for 2026–2030
- Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) — Canada's nuclear advantage and realistic timelines
- PPA structures that work for 50–200 MW hyperscale loads
- Natural gas turbines, hydrogen-ready gen-sets and fuel cells: deployment realities

- Retrofitting air-cooled facilities for hybrid liquid cooling systems
- Meeting hyperscaler 100% renewable mandates using Canada's hydro grid
- Waste heat recovery and district heating network integration
- Compressing a 3-year permitting process into 12 months
- Alberta's fast-track model vs. Ontario's regulatory barriers
- PIPEDA vs. Quebec Law 25 — operational implications for design and contracts
- The CAD $2.4B sovereign AI compute program — who qualifies and how to access it
- Indigenous duty to consult, revenue sharing and co-development models
- The $100 Billion Alberta opportunity — hype or executable reality?
- Hyperscale vs. colocation vs. build-to-suit — which model wins in Canada
- Emerging market plays: Calgary, Quebec City and Edmonton as next-tier targets
- Project finance, debt sizing and equity in a high-rate environment
- Land-banking strategy — securing 40-acre parcels near 230 kV lines
