Pembina Pipeline, Kineticor Asset Management and Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners – partners in the Greenlight Electricity Centre Limited Partnership – announced Thursday their final investment decision for the Greenlight Electricity Centre.
The natural gas-powered electricity facility is approved to supply 932 megawatts to a potential new data centre in Sturgeon County, according to a provincial government news release.
It’s estimated the $4.6 billion capital investment will support about 1,000 good-paying construction jobs and 30 long-term skilled positions. When operational, the province adds, the facility will also result in millions in royalties to the province from the natural gas used to power it.
“Alberta is primed for even more investments of this magnitude, and this didn’t happen by chance. This project is an example of what is possible under the landmark energy agreement signed between Alberta and the federal government in the fall of 2025,” says a joint statement issued by Premier Danielle Smith, Minister of Affordability and Utilities RJ Sigurdson, and Minister of Technology and Innovation Nate Glubish.
