The Alberta Utilities Commission's current Indus project page, checked October 28, 2026, confirms that the oral hearing has been held and the power-plant application remains under consideration; this is not an approval decision. Beacon's Indus hub has an approved municipal planning envelope while its proposed 1,494 MWe on-site gas plant remains before the Alberta Utilities Commission. About 1,200 MWe would supply co-located data halls; IT load is unknown.
