Meta Puts Its Biggest Foreign Data Center in Alberta
The Sturgeon County site will draw over CAD $13 billion for a 1 gigawatt AI-optimized campus north of Edmonton.
- Investment tops CAD $13 billion, about US$9.1 billion, Meta's largest data center outside the US.
- The 1 gigawatt facility sits in Sturgeon County, Alberta, announced July 8, 2026.
- Meta calls it purpose-built for training and running its future AI models.
Why it matters: Nine billion dollars of compute infrastructure now sits beyond US jurisdiction, answerable only to Meta's balance sheet.
