WHAT'S NEW

Meta Sturgeon permit appeal

A September 15, 2026 filing asks the Land and Property Rights Tribunal to let challenges to the Project Frost master permit proceed to a full hearing.

Why it matters: The preliminary dispute covers who may appeal and whether the permitted-use approval complied with other planning rules. The appellants cite 848 planned backup generators, large-scale fuel storage, 351 wetlands, and allegedly missing or deferred studies. These are unresolved claims, not Tribunal findings. A separate Greenlight site-grading permit takes effect October 9, 2026, unless appealed.

Travers AI Data Centre Campus

A July 22, 2026 judicial review application challenges Vulcan County's rezoning decision and is scheduled for September 29, 2026.

Why it matters: The applicant alleges procedural fairness failures and asks the court to quash the decision. Vulcan County and Eric Steeves, operating as Palliser Grid, are named as respondents. The allegations have not been adjudicated.

FingerMotion Alberta program

FingerMotion says it is advancing ten separate 9.9 MW sites across Brooks, Coronation, Fox Creek, and Vulcan, totalling 99 MW of gross generation.

Why it matters: The company has not disclosed how the sites are distributed among the campuses, exact locations, permits, or an executed customer offtake agreement. Brooks remains the only public ADCW project record; the other campuses are retained for monitoring.

Fire Technology Torrington

Kneehill County approved two additional units in April 2026 for the existing 9.5 MW cryptomining facility near Torrington.

Why it matters: The municipal record confirms a current expansion, while the carbon registry provides a separate public record of the operating facility and its legal location.
