Calgary – Western Canada's Energy & Cloud Hub
Calgary is a primary colocation and interconnection hub for Western Canada, serving the region's vast energy, logistics, and agricultural sectors. The market offers a compelling combination of low natural disaster risk, competitive operating costs, and direct cloud access. This makes it an ideal location for production workloads and disaster recovery sites supporting Vancouver or Toronto.

| Factor | Rating / Data | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Global Connectivity Grade | A | Strong regional and long-haul fiber connectivity to other major Canadian and US markets. |
| Direct Cloud On-Ramps | Over 2 — as of September 2025 | Direct, private access to major cloud providers is available within the metro. |
| Power Cost | C$0.08–C$0.12/kWh | Alberta's competitive energy market provides stable and affordable industrial power rates. |
| Disaster Risk | Low (2.7/10) — as of September 2025 | One of the lowest-risk metros in North America for natural disasters. |
| Tax Incentives | No | Canada does not offer specific data center tax incentives at a federal level. |
| Sales Tax | 5% (Federal GST only) | Alberta has no provincial sales tax, offering significant savings on equipment purchases. |
Network & Connectivity Ecosystem
Calgary's connectivity is built for enterprise performance, with a healthy mix of regional and national providers operating within its 15 data centers, as of September 2025.
Carrier Density & Carrier Neutrality The market is served by over 8 unique network providers, offering diverse routing options. Carrier-neutral facilities are the standard, providing customers with the flexibility to choose providers and optimize for cost and performance without being locked into a single vendor.
Direct Cloud On-Ramps Calgary provides over 2 direct cloud on-ramps, enabling low-latency, private connections to 1 cloud region as of September 2025. This allows businesses to build secure, high-performance hybrid cloud architectures. Available providers include:
- AWS
Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) The primary public peering point is the Calgary Internet Exchange (YYCIX). The YYCIX facilitates local traffic exchange between networks, reducing latency and improving performance for users across Alberta.
Bare Metal Bare metal server options are readily available in Calgary. Providers like Hivelocity and phoenixNAP offer dedicated servers for workloads that require maximum performance and direct hardware control.
Power Analysis
Calgary benefits from Alberta's deregulated and resource-rich energy market.
Average Cost Of Power Industrial power rates typically range from C$0.08 to C$0.12 per kWh, as of September 2025. This competitive pricing can substantially lower total operational costs for dense compute deployments. The provincial grid mix includes significant natural gas and hydroelectric generation.
Power Grid Reliability The power grid serving Calgary's primary data center zones is well-engineered and highly reliable. Facilities are supported by redundant power feeds from multiple substations, ensuring high levels of uptime for critical operations.
Market Access, Business & Tax Climate
Calgary provides excellent access to the Western Canadian market within a favorable business environment.
Proximity To Key Business Districts Data centers are strategically located with easy access to downtown Calgary, home to the headquarters of Canada's energy sector. They also serve industrial and logistics parks near the Calgary International Airport (YYC), a critical hub for Western Canada.
Regional Market Reach From Calgary, organizations can effectively serve a large geographic area that includes all of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and eastern British Columbia. Its central location makes it a logical anchor for a Western Canadian digital infrastructure strategy.
Tax Advantage For Data Centers While no specific data center incentives exist, Alberta's business climate is a major advantage. The province has no provincial sales tax (PST), meaning businesses only pay the 5% federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) on hardware and software purchases, a significant cost savings compared to other Canadian provinces.
Natural Disaster Risk
Calgary's location in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains provides exceptional geographic stability, resulting in a very low risk profile for natural disasters.
The overall INFORM Risk score is 2.7 out of 10, classifying the region as "Low" risk, as of September 2025. The primary natural hazards to consider are:
- River Flood: The most significant local risk, particularly for infrastructure located near the Bow and Elbow rivers. Modern data centers are built outside of high-risk flood plains.
- Earthquake: While the region can experience minor seismic activity, the risk of a damaging earthquake is very low compared to the Pacific coast.
- Drought: Periods of drought can occur, but they do not directly impact data center cooling or power operations.
