The Communications Security Establishment is planning the construction of a large new facility in the Ottawa area, estimated to cost up to $1.85 billion. This new 60-megawatt facility is intended to address increasing operational demands and fulfill the government's goal of onshore sovereign infrastructure. The federal government has posted an advance procurement notice for a new facility on the Ottawa side of the National Capital Region, with contracting opportunities expected early next year.
