Skeena Data Centers is seeking alternative power solutions for its new facility in Terrace, British Columbia, in response to the B.C. government's Energy Statutes Amendment Act, which restricts electricity allocation for data centers. Critics warn that prioritizing sectors like mining could undermine the growth of Canadian tech businesses, especially as reliance on U.S. data infrastructure increases. The company is exploring options such as LNG power plants, wind generation, and river flow to reduce dependence on BC Hydro, while urging the government to recognize local data centers as significant projects to boost investment.
