Network & Connectivity Ecosystem
Calgary operates as the primary interconnection point for Western Canada, bridging the gap between coastal hubs and central markets. As of December 2025, the connectivity landscape is defined by its resilience and growing density.
Carrier Density & Carrier Neutrality: Carrier count: ~10 carriers. Facilities in the region remain largely carrier neutral, providing access to a diverse mix of local and international transit providers as of December 2025.
Direct Cloud On-Ramps: Over 2, enabling access to 1 cloud regions. Enterprise users can access AWS directly within the metro area, reducing the need for backhauling traffic to coastal hubs as of December 2025.
Internet Exchange Points (IXPs): The YYCIX (Calgary Internet Exchange) facilitates local peering, which keeps traffic within the region to minimize latency and improve end-user experience.
Bare Metal: High-performance compute options are available through providers such as phoenixNAP and Latitude.sh, supporting workloads that require dedicated physical hardware as of December 2025.
Power Analysis
Energy infrastructure in Calgary is characterized by a unique deregulated market and a shifting generation mix.
Average Cost Of Power: Industrial electricity is approximately $0.11/kWh, as of December 2025. The generation mix includes roughly 20.8% fossil fuels, with the remainder coming from hydro, nuclear, and growing renewable sources. This pricing structure helps stabilize operational expenses for high-consumption deployments.
Power Grid Reliability: Data center corridors in Calgary benefit from a well-engineered grid with redundant multi-substation support. This layout minimizes the risk of large-scale outages and provides a reliable foundation for mission-critical operations.
Market Access, Business & Tax Climate
Calgary offers a business-friendly environment that attracts large-scale enterprise headquarters and tech startups alike.
Proximity To Key Business Districts: Data centers are located near the downtown core and the Southeast industrial corridors. This provides low-latency connectivity to the major energy and financial firms that drive the regional economy.
Regional Market Reach: A presence in Calgary effectively serves the 4.5 million residents of Alberta while providing a low-latency gateway to British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and the Northern United States.
Tax Advantage For Data Centers: Alberta provides a significant financial advantage as the only province in Canada without a provincial sales tax. This reduces the total cost of ownership for hardware and infrastructure services compared to other major Canadian metros.
Natural Disaster Risk
Calgary is classified as a low-risk market for natural disasters, making it an ideal location for secondary sites or primary production workloads that require high uptime.
Overall Risk Score: Low (2.7/10) – as of December 2025.
Highest Scoring Natural Hazards:
- River Flood: 7.1. Significant mitigation efforts around the Bow and Elbow rivers manage this risk.
- Earthquake: 4.8. Seismic activity is infrequent and generally low-magnitude.
- Epidemic: 3.2. Local healthcare infrastructure provides strong management capabilities.
- Tropical Cyclone: 2.3. Most storm systems weaken significantly before reaching the inland prairies.
- Drought: 2.2. Managed through regional water conservation and management programs.
Other hazards such as coastal flooding or tsunamis are not material factors for this inland location. As of December 2025, the geographic stability of the region remains a primary driver for data center investment.
