Alberta AI Data Centres — Interactive Size & Impact Map

Field notes

The map combines named project locations with comparative impact layers, separating company-disclosed figures from estimates and identifying waterless or closed-loop designs where stated. Its methodology discusses raw equipment noise, distance decay, synthesized audio, and the distinction between illustrative zones and the AUC Rule 012 design target. The page also records projects that remain in AESO’s queue but cannot be drawn because their developer, location, or footprint is not public, creating a built-in reason to revisit the dataset.
