Alberta grid operator's power cap could thwart province's AI data-centre ambitions, critics say
Alberta's grid operator is putting an interim limit on the amount of electricity it will provide to new data centres after a massive surge in requests for power from developers. But the approach could thwart the provincial government's ambition to become a home for the energy-hungry infrastructure that is necessary to run artificial-intelligence models and applications. The Alberta Electric System Operator said on Wednesday it is allotting 1,200 megawatts of electricity for large-load projects, such as data centres, through to 2028. But around 29 data-centre projects are requesting to be connected to more than 16,000 megawatts of electricity – which is more than the province's peak consumption. 'Alberta cannot possibly connect all that,' said AESO chief executive officer Aaron Engen during a media briefing. The electricity cap is necessary to ensure the grid, which transmits power to homes and businesses, remains stable and reliable, he said. The allotment, which is less than 10 per cent of overall demand, still allows projects to come online soon, he added. Alberta wants to attract massive data centres to power generative AI. But current infrastructure can't handle their near-endless demand for electricity AESO has identified 15 projects for consideration to connect to the grid in the near-term, and developers are required to show proof of financial security and letters of support from the municipalities in which they intend to operate. Qualifying developers will receive a pro rata share of the 1,200 megawatts. The United Conservative government in Alberta announced a strategy in December to attract data-centre operators in response to the global boom in AI. Building and running AI models requires large amounts of electricity, and the province has an abundance of untapped natural gas for generation. Alberta is overhauling its energy market. Here's what's happening, and why Technology and Innovation Minister Nate Glubish has also spoken of attracting hyperscale customers, the term for large tech companies such as Google Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. that are the biggest developers and users of AI. 'We heard clearly from data centre proponents that they needed clarity from [AESO] on how this capacity would be distributed,' Mr. Glubish said in an e-mailed statement Wednesday. 'Today's announcement delivers that clarity.' But Edmonton-based Capital Power LP, which operates generation facilities in Canada and the United States, said AESO's approach will undermine the goal of turning Alberta into an AI data-centre hub. 'We've got a bit of a bust here,' said Pauline McLean, the company's chief legal officer. 'I don't think it's actually going to meet the government's policy objectives.' Capital Power has a proposed data-centre campus in Alberta for up to 1,500 megawatts that is geared toward hyperscale customers, who require hundreds of megawatts of power. But under AESO's methodology, the project could be allotted less than 250 megawatts. 'We simply will not attract those customers,' Ms. McLean said. AESO's criteria should be more stringent, she said, and consider how data-centre proposals align with the provincial government's goals, whether First Nations communities are involved, and what upgrades to transmission infrastructure are needed. Editorial: Free the market for renewable energy in Alberta That could allow for power to be spread out among a smaller number of data centres, but each one having more capacity. The provincial government has said that its preference is for data-centre operators to generate their own power, rather than rely heavily on the grid. AESO's Mr. Engen said that concept makes 'perfect sense,' but added the industry is competitive and the goal is to have new data centres operating as soon as possible. Ms. McLean, too, said building new generation capacity would take years. 'This puts Alberta in a less competitive position. Tech firms are looking for power and looking for power now,' said Shaz Merwat, energy lead at the Climate Action Institute at RBC. 'But it's hard to push back on prudence,' he added, referring to AESO. Longer term, the province remains attractive for development, partly because of the government's support for data centres, he said. TD Cowen analyst John Mould said in a note Thursday that AESO's allocation approach and the lack of clarity beyond 2028 could limit the potential for large data centres. 'A lack of runway could dissuade initial investment,' he wrote. Beacon AI Centers, which plans to develop six large data-centre campuses in Alberta, said AESO's process has not changed its views of the province's potential. 'We remain extremely bullish on Alberta,' said CEO Josh Schertzer in a statement. Alberta isn't the only province dealing with electricity constraints. Ontario's provincial government introduced legislation this week to better handle dozens of data-centre proposals that would require up to 6,500 megawatts of electricity, or close to 30 per cent of peak demand. Utilities are currently required to connect data centres to the grid regardless of the economic benefits or energy requirements, the government said. With the proposed bill, unveiled by Minister of Energy and Mines Stephen Lecce, the province wants to instead prioritize projects 'that maximize benefit to the Ontario economy and work force,' according to a government news release.

It's Happened: AI Just Replaced Sales Jobs – and This UK Agency Made It Happen
"A generative AI sales agent in the form of a digital humanoid engages a potential client through a holographic interface — symbolizing the shift from traditional sales teams to intelligent, always-on automation. This visual represents the rise of AI agencies transforming business development through conversational AI." An international digital agency has quietly launched what may be the world's first generative AI sales agent — engineered to engage, qualify, and convert leads without human intervention. Now live and operational 24/7, the AI agent is actively selling real services and redefining how businesses around the world approach digital growth. Manchester, UK - June 5, 2025 - In a world of rapidly evolving AI tools, one international AI agency is taking the technology beyond chatbots and blog generators — and straight into the heart of business development. Marketing Web Development Agency has launched a generative AI sales agent capable of qualifying leads, answering detailed service questions, and guiding potential customers toward action — all without a human sales team. 'We didn't build a chatbot,' says Andy, Digital Expert and Co-Founder. 'We built a sales agent that learns from the founder's voice, adapts to client intent, and closes deals around the clock.' This marks a bold step for agencies using AI, placing Marketing Web Development Agency at the forefront of AI consulting companies building real-world automation tools. A New Era of Sales — Powered by Generative AI Unlike scripted bots, this generative AI system is trained on the language, tone, and structure of a high-performing human rep. It provides real-time interaction with customers on the company's website — capable of explaining SEO, PPC, performance marketing, and web development services in plain terms while qualifying the lead. 'We've replaced passive form fillers with interactive, strategic AI conversation,' Andy adds. 'This is what we mean when we talk about automating revenue.' From Professional Services to eCommerce and SaaS Whether the business is a law firm, dentist, electrician, or B2B software company, the AI agent can be trained to deliver bespoke messaging and handle objections — even replicating the style of a company founder or top salesperson. This makes the technology deployable across industries and gives smaller companies access to powerful conversion automation, once only available to enterprise brands. Inside the Tech Stack Unlike traditional AI tools that focus on content creation, this system specializes in conversational selling — powered by a generative AI stack hosted on cloud infrastructure and custom-built into each client's site. No external hosting or third-party plugins are required. Marketing Web Development Agency is among the few AI marketing companies building tightly integrated, performance-first systems on custom architecture. 'We didn't rely on no-code tools,' Andy says. 'This was coded, tested, and trained by people who've been building in digital since dial-up.' About the Founder Andy, known on LinkedIn as 'Andy Digital Expert', has been involved in digital since 1996, building websites for his own companies long before the term 'digital agency' became mainstream. His team formed a boutique agency only after discovering no one could build what they needed. 'We only work with a small number of clients,' Andy explains. 'We believe this is the future — and we're helping the first-movers take it.'
