Bell AI Data Centre Expansion in Sask. Announced at Investment Summit
The project will create thousands of jobs and add up to 1.2 gigawatts of AI infrastructure capacity, Bell said.
- On Monday, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Bell Canada CEO Mirko Bibic announced a major expansion of the Bell AI Data Centre project in the Regina area, bringing total capital investment to more than $50 billion.
- The announcement occurred during Canada's first-ever investment summit in Toronto, part of a federal strategy to catalyze $1 trillion in total investment across the country over five years.
- Bell's expansion creates a 1.2-gigawatt infrastructure hub, retaining 300 megawatts from the grid and adding 900 megawatts of capacity through the 'Bring Your Own Power' principle, generating 3,000 jobs.
- Crown Investments Corporation Minister Jeremy Harrison called the $52 billion expansion a 'powerful endorsement' of Saskatchewan's economic potential, noting it will host approximately 100 management positions at the new headquarters.
- While subject to municipal bylaws and environmental impact assessments, proponents say the project strengthens Canadian data sovereignty by ensuring data remains stored domestically under national rules.
