Mihta Askiy Data Center Project

Cree Ative Datacenter Corp GP is proposing the development of a new power-generating facility fueled by natural gas, located about 40 kilometres northeast of Peace River, Alberta. As proposed, the power generation facility would have a production capacity of 650 megawatts to support a new data centre. The project would have a two-stage design, initially with simple-cycle natural gas turbine technology which would later be converted to combined cycle technology. The project is expected to operate for 30 years.
