Long-term 50-year lease (30-year initial lease term, with 2 x 10-year extensions) for the 12-acre site with an option to purchase. The facility will create more than 20 full-time jobs in Prince George.
The facility will provide long-term revenue to the City of Prince George and the local community over the expected life of the business of several decades.
The site is connected to BC Hydro's transmission grid and is powered by 100% renewable energy, which BC Hydro currently reports is approximately 98% from clean or renewable sources (primarily hydro) and 2% from the purchase of RECs.
Due to declining industrial demand over the past few decades and additional renewable generation capacity, BC Hydro has excess generation compared to load, and the data centres can absorb some of this excess capacity, which under the regulatory model in place in British Columbia has the benefit of lowering rates for other BC Hydro customers.
