Bell Canada will expand its artificial intelligence data centre near Regina from 300 megawatts to a facility that could require up to 1.2 gigawatts of power, according to CEO Mirko Bibic. The announcement came during an investment summit in Toronto hosted by Prime Minister Mark Carney. The expansion is described as the largest private investment in the province’s history.
Bibic said the project would evolve from its current size to a larger facility, indicating substantial growth in power needs as the centre scales. The summit in Toronto provided a public platform for the plan, linking Bell’s expansion to broader investment activity discussed there.
Details on the project timeline, specific site plans, or potential job impacts were not provided in the summary. The report emphasizes the magnitude of the expansion, with power requirements increasing from 300 megawatts to up to 1.2 gigawatts and labeling the investment as historically significant for Saskatchewan.
