The federal framework sets five expectations: lasting local benefit, no cost shifting to electricity ratepayers, lower water and environmental impact, transparent local effects, and strategic value to Canada.

PJM and Dominion reported that roughly 3,800 MW of large load unexpectedly left the grid and transferred to backup generation after a normally cleared line fault in Northern Virginia.

The AI Compute Access Fund is designed to reduce the cost barrier for Canadian small and medium-sized businesses seeking AI compute capacity.

PJM’s proposed IRAS framework would address new large loads that have not brought or secured new capacity. PJM says 30 GW of 32 GW in forecast demand growth from 2024 to 2030 is attributable to data centres.

IESO’s 2026 reference scenario says data centres could represent 8.6% of Ontario electricity demand in 2050—about 60% more than the prior forecast.

PJM’s 2026 forecast trims some near-term large-load assumptions after stronger vetting, while projecting 3.6% annual summer-peak growth over ten years and a roughly 65.7 GW increase by 2036.

Hydro-Québec proposes an average rate of 13¢/kWh for new data-centre customers above 5 MW, roughly double the current large-power rate, with implementation targeted for the second half of 2026 subject to regulator approval.

At an August 2026 event with Mexico’s Secretariat of Economy, KIO described a potential QRO3 expansion of roughly 100 MW and up to US$1.3 billion.

Nuevo León’s government says Equinix opened its US$250 million MO2 facility in Apodaca, with the first phase operational in September 2025 and continued expansion planned through 2030.

CFE’s 2026 financing plan lists data-center installation among the structural factors increasing Mexican electricity demand.

Mexico’s federal government announced a US$4.8 billion CloudHQ program for six data centers in Querétaro, with more than 7,200 jobs cited and waterless cooling included in the project description.

ERCOT proposed adjusting its preliminary long-term forecast using either historical realization rates or a more scrutinized Batch Zero large-load forecast.

The parties are exploring a large-scale British Columbia AI data-centre proposal under a federal initiative. The announcement is meaningful, but it explicitly says no funding had yet been committed or distributed.

The federal announcement assigns US$2.7 billion to Fermaca Digital City and describes a 250 MW hyperscale data center supported by planned gas, fiber, and combined-cycle generation infrastructure.

Duke says its large-load agreements can include customer-funded connection costs, financial security, termination charges, long commitments, and temporary curtailment provisions.
