New Brunswick wants public feedback on data centre plan
A news release says the draft policy will support Canada's efforts to control its own data and develop Canadian artificial intelligence.
The New Brunswick government is seeking public input on its data centre policy as it evaluates a proposal for a facility in the province's southwest region. The framework, designed by the government, aims to prevent sudden increases in electricity costs for residents and limit the environmental impact of the facilities. The draft policy is intended to support Canada's data control and the development of Canadian artificial intelligence.
The public has until October 2 to submit their feedback through an online form on the government's website. The Liberal government has initiated this request for input as it reviews plans for a proposed 390-megawatt Spruce Lake AI Hub, proposed by Beacon Data Centres and VotaGrid. This facility is currently undergoing regulatory review.
