Data centres (data centers) in Canada and the US
13 major projects: proposed, approved, under construction or on hold. 6 of them have a value its source publishes, shown in its own currency. View on map
A data centre here is a campus built to house servers, for others or for its owner's cloud or AI work. Its MW is power demand, unless its page gives the power it generates on site. A campus is major at C$1B or US$1B, or 300 MW of power demand or on-site generation.
