Hydro for Data Centers Beats Gas From Alberta, Says Bell AI Boss
Oil and gas hub Alberta made a big pitch in 2024 to supply power for AI data centers. It didn't convince BCE Inc., which is setting up one of the first major systems in the country.
'I don't think it makes sense when we have such strong access to hydroelectricity in many provinces,' said Dan Rink, president of Bell AI Fabric, a new artificial intelligence data-center network announced Wednesday and a subsidiary of Canada's largest telecom company by revenue.
