At full build-out, the project is estimated to support between 975 - 2,100 construction jobs and 200 - 300 continuous operations jobs. These roles will range from management of high-tech computer systems to networking and infrastructure storage. Beyond direct site work, the influx of professionals is expected to bring opportunities for existing and new businesses, fueling diverse job opportunities and economic prosperity in the community.

As a hyperscale-level data center, this project positions Rocky View County as a leader in Alberta’s burgeoning AI and technology sector. The hub will house the essential digital infrastructure needed to manage and process the data of the future. The project acts as a catalyst for fiber optic deployment, broadband capacity improvements, and can sustain partnerships and training programs with Alberta’s post-secondary institutions. 

The location of the Wild Rose Data Center was selected due to its strategic proximity to optimal utility infrastructure, minimizing its environmental footprint. The project will leverage adjacent high voltage transmission lines to efficiently power its operations. The project includes developer-provided off-site utility servicing, on-site stormwater retention, and closed-loop dry cooling systems to minimize impacts. Meeting the priorities of Langdon and neighboring community residents, the Wild Rose Data Center will be a standalone project, with its electricity requirements supplied from a location outside of Rocky View County, near existing generation sites. This ensures that the affordability and reliability of Alberta’s electricity grid is improved without adding a power plant in Rocky View County.
