Summary

EverWind Fuels has proposed a $10-billion AI data centre in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia, backed by a 20-year lease with an unnamed AI developer. The first phase is planned to use 95 megawatts of electricity and open in late 2027, with a 325-megawatt expansion expected in mid-2028. EverWind says the project would create 2,000 construction jobs and 215 permanent jobs, and that it will cover related energy connections and grid upgrades so those costs are not passed to existing ratepayers.
