Beacon Indus AI Data Center Hub

PRJ-0041 · Site · About 3.2 km east of Calgary and 2.4 km northwest of Indus, Alberta, Canada

Record last updated Oct 28, 2026

Scope and capacity

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.
