Wonder Valley Advances 7.5GW AI Campus in Alberta

O’Leary Digital has begun permitting for a massive powered compute campus in Grande Prairie, positioning Alberta at the centre of what the company describes as one of the largest integrated AI infrastructure developments currently underway globally.

The proposed project, known as Wonder Valley Alberta, is planned for 7.5 gigawatts of power generation capacity as part of a broader 15-gigawatt master plan spanning Alberta and Utah. Located within the Greenview Industrial Gateway, the Alberta site is designed to support long-duration power development and large-scale compute deployment to meet accelerating demand for artificial intelligence and hyperscale cloud infrastructure.

Across both jurisdictions, O’Leary Digital controls approximately 26,000 acres positioned for long-term infrastructure buildout tied to AI and mission-critical computing. Each campus is planned for 7.5 gigawatts of generation capacity, supported by phased deployment of powered buildings and integrated on-site energy and utility infrastructure. Combined, the two sites represent an initial 15-gigawatt power plan with the ability to scale over time based on tenant demand.

While no construction timeline or anchor tenants were disclosed, the company confirmed both developments have been capitalized through the permitting phase and that global investment banks have been retained to structure project-level equity and debt financing.

Wonder Valley Alberta is positioned to leverage Western Canada’s energy resources and infrastructure base, a potential advantage as hyperscale and AI operators seek long-duration, reliable power at scale. The campus is designed to accommodate either dedicated single-tenant environments or segmented multi-tenant configurations, with representative designs aligned to established hyperscale standards while allowing flexibility around power density, cooling systems, and infrastructure configuration.

“We have developed repeatable campus designs supported by experienced partners with deep expertise and long track records serving leading compute tenants, while preserving the flexibility to collaborate directly on specific power and infrastructure requirements,” said CEO Paul Palandjian. “In a rapidly evolving compute environment, combining scalability with adaptability is essential.”

In Alberta, O’Leary Digital has also begun engagement with Indigenous communities whose traditional lands include the project area. “The Greenview Industrial Gateway sits within lands that have long been part of Indigenous communities’ traditional territories,” said Chairman Kevin O’Leary. “Engagement, consultation, and shared opportunity are foundational to how we approach development in Alberta.”

With permitting underway and capital advisors engaged, Wonder Valley Alberta represents a significant bet on Alberta’s role in the next wave of AI-driven infrastructure — where energy capacity and compute demand increasingly intersect.
