艾伯塔省将拥有自力的AI数据中心作为优先事项,并制定了新的规则,以缓解电网紧张和增加清洁能源。 Alberta prioritizes self-powering AI data centres with new rules to ease grid strain and boost clean energy.

艾伯塔省正在推动立法,将产生自身电力的AI数据中心列为优先事项,旨在管理电网压力和支持清洁能源目标。 Alberta is advancing legislation to prioritize AI data centres that generate their own power, aiming to manage grid strain and support clean energy goals. 该法案允许这类设施首先进入电网,并免除对大型数据中心的离网业务征收2%的新税,对自产电站的发电者则减至1%。 The bill allows such facilities to access the grid first and exempts off-grid operations from a new 2% levy on large data centres, reduced to 1% for those producing their own electricity. 从2026年开始,这项税收将为传输升级提供资金,并抵减公司税。 Starting in 2026, the levy will fund transmission upgrades and offset against corporate taxes. 有37个申请尚待处理,可能需要19千兆瓦(现有能力增加了一倍),官员的目标是5 000兆瓦的新数据中心能力,预计到2028年将启动两个项目。 With 37 applications pending and potential demand of 19 gigawatts—double current capacity—officials aim for 5,000 megawatts of new data centre capacity, with two projects expected to launch by 2028.
