EverWind says $10B AI data centre proposal largest private investment in N.S. history
The plan includes $8 billion for the campus and $2 billion for wind projects, and it is expected to create 2,000 construction jobs and 215 permanent positions.
- On Friday, EverWind announced a $10 billion plan to build an AI data centre and expand wind energy in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia, marking the largest privately funded investment in the province's history.
- The investment allocates $8 billion for the data centre campus and $2 billion for onshore wind projects, creating 2,000 construction jobs and 215 permanent positions.
- An unnamed "leading frontier" AI developer signed a 20-year lease for 100% of Phase 1 capacity, while a Mi'kmaq consortium led by Membertou First Nation holds 51% ownership of the 650-megawatt wind facilities.
- EverWind pledged to fully fund electricity infrastructure costs, ensuring existing ratepayers face no project-related price increases, while employing a closed-loop cooling system to minimize water usage.
- Phase 1 targets late 2027 with a 325-megawatt expansion planned for 2028; the full 420-megawatt campus aims to expand Canada's domestic computing capacity to meet growing artificial intelligence demand.
