Meta expands its presence in Canada amid environmental challenges
Meta plans to build its first data center in Canada, in the city of Sturgeon, Alberta, with an estimated cost of over 13 billion Canadian dollars (approximately 9 billion US dollars). It will be the largest data center outside the United States, covering an area of up to 270,000 square meters, aimed at strengthening its investments in artificial intelligence and catching up with competitors like Google and OpenAI. The project has sparked controversy over its high energy and water consumption, as it will use energy equivalent to that of 800,000 homes, and it includes the construction of a natural gas power plant to meet the increasing energy demand.
