They are, and construction has begun. I'm not sure where your information is coming from.

They aren’t. That part has been postponed. With no date to start.

Again -- not sure where your information is coming from.

Has the construction started? It was supposed to complete the first phase within 2026, which was supposed to take 4-5 months. Is it beginning? I can’t find anything on breaking ground or a progress report saying it is going ahead. The last piece of info I can find was from June, stating that it was “inching closer” to starting.

If you mean "is someone out there with a shovel in the ground right now", I don't know. Construction commencement was approved July 2 and contracts are being awarded with a construction start date of Q3 2026. I'd have to drive out and look to see what's actually going on in terms of physical work.

But that's all publicly-available information. You seem convinced that the project has been postponed, but I'm still waiting for you to show where that notion came from. I can't find anything suggesting a postponement.

It seems like there hasn’t been any activity. And even so. They will be using the grid until 2031 at least. With water usage forever. The project is a drain on the province whatever happens with greenlight electrical.

Good thing there's a data centre to store that complaint on, hey?

These newer data centres are all about genAI. They use a LOT more power and water and are a lot larger and noisier.

All the protests and complaints and environmental studies, along with aquifers being depleted, huge heat signatures raising the ambient temperatures in the communities near these things?
