BREAKING: Bell to quadruple the size of Regina AI data centre, build its own 900 MW of power generation
They haven’t even finished building the first part of its Regina data centre, yet Bell Canada will now quadruple it in size. The announcement is the largest dollar value project in Saskatchewan history, and its power consumption will equal 42 per cent of Saskatchewan’s current power generation on a mid-September day.
The power consumption will be equal to four BHP Jensen potash mines, which is to be the largest in the world. The economic impact of $50 billion will be greater that the dollar value of Saskatchewan’s provincial budget for not one, but two years, with several billion more to spare.
This is mammoth.
