Powering Alberta's next-generation data centers.
BIT Energy is an Alberta-based consulting firm for natural-gas-powered data centers. We help clients source low-cost stranded gas, build off-grid power generation, and develop reliable, compliant data-center sites — from first feasibility study to an energized facility.
Energy and infrastructure consulting, built for data centers.
BIT Energy is an Alberta-based consulting firm that helps clients build and operate natural-gas-powered data centers. We bring together energy sourcing, off-grid power generation, site development and regulatory expertise to turn cheap, stranded gas into reliable, low-cost compute power.
Our team has deep experience across the Canadian energy sector — oil & gas, power generation and infrastructure — which we apply end to end for data-center clients: from securing gas supply and permitting, to building generation and energizing the facility.
With a strong command of Canadian laws, AER regulations and permitting processes, we help clients navigate complex requirements and move from concept to energized site with confidence.

Oil & Gas Development Support
Gas supply, wellhead sourcing and field development to feed your generation at the lowest possible cost.
The best place on earth for data centers.
Power is the single biggest cost of running a data center. Alberta offers a structural surplus of low-cost natural gas, a cold climate built for cooling, and an open, infrastructure-friendly policy environment — exactly what compute needs.
- Power is most of a data center's cost. A structural gas surplus keeps Alberta power far below global benchmarks — directly improving compute economics.
- Stranded, discounted gas. Capped local demand and bottlenecked export pipelines hold the local AB-NIT price down — sometimes to zero or below.
- ~1¢ per kWh. At July 2025 gas prices, standard industrial gensets produce power for about one cent per kilowatt-hour.
- WCSB at the core. Alberta sits atop the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin — one of the world's most prolific gas regions — with deep, mature heavy-industry infrastructure.
Open to infrastructure
Canada keeps a clear, progressive stance toward digital and energy infrastructure — backed by provincial incentives for high-tech investment and economic diversification.
One of N.A.'s deepest talent pools
Alberta has one of the highest engineer-to-population ratios in North America and a mature heavy-industrial supply chain — engineering firms, contractors and vendors that let projects move fast.
Free cooling, year round
Cold winters, cool summers and low humidity deliver exceptional free-cooling and dramatically lower data-center PUE. Highways and pipeline rights-of-way provide total provincial connectivity.
Alberta is a magnet for data-center investment
Hyperscalers and data-center operators are pouring into the province — proof the power, land and policy all work.

From wellhead to rack.
We help clients place low-cost generation right next to the load — taking a gas-powered data center from concept to energized. Here's the model, and how we move it forward.
Permitting & approvals
Government approvals, site zoning and utility clearances — plus gas-purchase agreements and surface-lease negotiations.
Infrastructure build
Civil works and foundations, medium-voltage installations, generator delivery and rigging, and modular deployment.
Optimization
Operations tuning, upstream integration to lower fuel cost, and recovery of generator waste heat for greenhouse agriculture.
