Pembina backs federal responsible data center framework

The Pembina Institute, through Kari Hyde, issued a statement responding to Canada’s new federal framework for responsible data center development.

• Hyde said the framework sets the right priorities for AI data center development, aiming to attract investment while reducing impacts on communities, land and water use, and electricity grids.
• The statement argued provinces should remove regulatory and policy barriers such as curtailment, limited recognition of flexibility, and restrictions on renewable energy and storage; Sarah Snowdon is listed as the media contact at Pembina Institute.
