      <description><![CDATA[Meta announced a C$13 billion (USD 9.1 billion) investment to build its first artificial intelligence data centre in Canada, located in Sturgeon County, Alberta. The 1-gigawatt facility, scalable to 1.8 gigawatts, will be powered by a dedicated natural gas-fired plant developed by a consortium including Pembina Pipeline. Alberta's regulatory framework prioritizes projects securing their own power due to grid limitations.
