Pembina's Greenlight FID Signals Momentum for Alberta's Data Center Power Buildout

Dow Jones07-03

1526 GMT - The province of Alberta shows an accelerated power buildout and large new data center loads, TD Cowen's John Mould says. Pembina Pipeline's final investment decision on the Greenlight Electricity Centre highlights "further progress for the broader data center opportunity." Mould notes investors are now looking for an end-customer final investment decision and clarity on ramp-up timing. Despite this, Greenlight power plant's C$4.3 million per megawatt capital cost "highlights the value of existing steel in the ground," particularly TransAlta's underutilized coal-to-gas fleet. He also points to Capital Power's 250 megawatt offtake agreement beginning in 2028, which could benefit from tightening Alberta power pricing. (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
