Crusoe Alberta Gas-CCS 280MW AI Compute Center

Status: Announced / Land Banked (Under Relocation Review)   |   Location: Range Rd 11 (AB-2A), Rocky View County, Alberta, Canada

Project Overview

The Crusoe Lone Pine Energy Park AI Data Center represents a proposed high-density power-to-compute AI infrastructure development in Rocky View County within the Calgary Region of Alberta, Canada. Developed by Crusoe Energy Systems through Crusoe Cloud in partnership with KALiNA Distributed Power (KDP), the project was originally planned as a 320-acre campus co-located with a 170 MW to 280 MW combined-cycle gas power plant equipped with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology. The proposed development follows an integrated power-to-compute model in which dedicated electricity generation is positioned alongside advanced data center infrastructure to provide reliable energy for highly intensive artificial intelligence workloads. The campus was intended to support AI model training, inference, high-performance computing, and other applications requiring substantial and continuous power availability. KALiNA’s proposed generation technology, combined with CCS, was designed to provide a lower-emissions power solution while maintaining the reliable electricity supply required by high-density computing environments. However, local land-use feedback in Rocky View County led KALiNA and Crusoe to pause the original site permitting process and engage with municipal authorities regarding potential relocation of the project. While the original site plan was placed on hold, the development framework and planned computing capacity remain relevant to the companies’ broader strategy for integrating dedicated energy generation with AI infrastructure. The situation highlights the importance of community engagement, land-use compatibility, utility planning, and environmental considerations when developing large-scale AI data center campuses. If a suitable alternative location is identified, the project could provide substantial computing capacity in Alberta while leveraging the province’s established energy ecosystem. The Lone Pine concept ultimately reflects the growing convergence of energy infrastructure and AI computing as developers seek reliable, scalable, and potentially lower-emission solutions for next-generation digital workloads.
