AI and Compute Infrastructure Advisory
A practical path to compute capacity in Canada.
We help AI, cloud and data centre developers define infrastructure needs, find powered sites and plan the next steps toward new compute capacity. We also help owners of energy and infrastructure assets understand whether their land or facilities could support data centre development, and what it would take to prepare them.
Viable opportunities, identified early.
We find opportunities worth pursuing and resolve the uncertainties that determine whether they can proceed: power availability, the connection pathway, land and approvals, and the partners involved.
We research candidate regions and sites ahead of client work, so an assignment starts with relevant options and a clear view of the questions that remain.
Canadian regional knowledge
How power, land, approvals and delivery timing differ by province, utility territory and municipality.
Researched opportunities
Regions, powered land and industrial sites studied ahead of client work, so an assignment starts with candidates rather than a blank map.
Relationship building
Early, direct conversations with asset owners, Nations and development partners, started before a client assignment depends on them.
Uncertainties resolved
The few questions that decide whether an opportunity can proceed, identified and answered before further resources are committed.
Who we work with
A compute project needs a requirement and a site that can meet it. We work with both sides.
-
For capacity seekers
AI, cloud and compute operators, data-centre developers and investors
Define what you need, compare where it could be delivered, and validate the few candidates worth pursuing.
Services and what we assess -
For energy and asset owners
Energy companies, utilities, and owners of land and industrial assets
Understand whether your asset could support compute development, what information is missing and how to prepare it for prospective operators.
How an initial discussion works
First Nations and Indigenous development corporations
Rights holders, owners and partners
Nations hold rights and interests that extend well beyond ownership of an asset, and many are developing energy projects of their own. We engage early and directly, and work on the Nation's terms and timeline. How we approach these conversations
How an assignment runs
We match opportunities to requirements, make uncertainties visible and resolve the ones that decide whether a project can proceed.
Define requirements
Capacity, location, timing and the constraints that rule options in or out.
Compare options
Screen regions and candidates against the assessment criteria using available evidence.
Validate priority candidates
Targeted enquiries, owner conversations and specialist input on the few that warrant it.
Plan next steps
A clear record of what is known, what is open, and the budget and schedule for the next stage.

Looking for additional compute capacity, or assessing an asset with infrastructure potential? Start with whatever you know. Unknown answers are fine at this stage.
