Transparent evidence

Research, sources, and methodology

The records behind ADCW project profiles and verified listings, organized so you can check the evidence yourself.

How sources are used

Official records are used to confirm facts. Company materials show what a developer says or plans, not what has happened.

Research index

The source directory covers every published project record. The data centre issues overview connects recurring public-interest questions to the official records that help answer them.

Source policy

How ADCW decides what to publish

Start with primary records

ADCW checks municipal, regulatory, government, utility, and developer documents first. News reporting is used for context and research leads.

Track infrastructure, not buzzwords

A facility can qualify whether its workload is AI, high-performance computing, colocation, cryptocurrency or mixed. ADCW applies one evidence standard to the physical footprint, then labels the workload supported by the record.

Label claims clearly

A permit, a company statement, and an operating result are different things. Approval for a power project does not necessarily approve the data centre.

Keep uncertainty visible

Missing, conflicting, or unresolved information is clearly labelled. It is not counted as zero or left out without explanation.

Verify before publication

Before publishing a project, ADCW checks its identity, status, location, and supporting sources.

Check the environmental disclosure set

ADCW looks for the power source, emissions, cooling technology, water demand and source, wastewater, stormwater, chemicals, fuel storage, batteries, nearby receptors, mitigation, monitoring and emergency-response information identified in Alberta's guidance for data centre proponents. The guidance describes information proponents should be prepared to provide to regulators; it does not mean every item is automatically public or approved.

This inventory is the best public record ADCW can build, not a complete list. Alberta has no single registry for every data centre project, and public information changes over time.
