What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

AI projects are currently being reviewed in the region of Saskatchewan and Moose Jaw. A proposal from Aztec AI Health Ltd. for a $485-million data centre in Moose Jaw was denied serious consideration by the Government of Saskatchewan, and its request for 150 MW of power was rejected. The Saskatchewan NDP has voiced concerns over the lack of information regarding these projects.

The ongoing review of these projects dictates the future viability of large-scale technology investments in Saskatchewan. Political leaders are calling for policy changes and pauses on hyperscale developments pending public consultation.
