This landscape shaped a people. Now it powers one. 300MW of sovereign compute where the prairie's oldest stewards and newest builders share a vision. Canadian-owned AI infrastructure. Independent by design.
Our planned Saskatchewan site is stitched into dual long-haul fibre routes that leave the Prairie2Cloud Campus and fan west (Calgary → Seattle WAIX) and south-east (Regina → Winnipeg → Minneapolis MICE). At 35‑45 ms RTT to MN & WA IXPs, the Prairie2Cloud will be inference‑ready – critical for AI. Redundant fibre pairs and carrier-neutral peering give us head-room for future traffic growth without oversubscription.
Prairie2Cloud delivers more than cheap power—we deliver powered land ready for compute. Our economics integrate perfectly with environmental goals: CAD 2.8¢/kWh marginal gas powers your operations at less than half Virginia's costs, while Saskatchewan's climate provides 7,000+ hours of free cooling annually, targeting PUE 1.05–1.15 with closed-loop immersion cooling (WUE near-zero). Combined federal investment tax credits and provincial rebates reduce capital costs by 10-17%. Located directly at Saskatchewan's IXP, we eliminate routing complexity. Every efficiency compounds: lower power costs, reduced cooling expenses, minimized transmission losses, accelerated deployment. Sustainable economics that scale.
Prairie2Cloud's development framework identifies a Saskatchewan-rooted partner network: Bird Construction (design-build), Bosgoed Project Consultants (Indigenous infrastructure), TransGas (gas supply), University of Regina CETRI (research collaboration), SaskTel and FlexNetworks (connectivity), and CoolIT Systems (immersion cooling). The University of Regina and University of Saskatchewan produce steady streams of power systems and computing graduates. Prairie2Cloud's local hiring commitment ensures this intellectual capital compounds rather than emigrates.
Prairie 2 Cloud Data Services Ltd. is a Saskatchewan corporation (Entity #102209806) incorporated March 12, 2025. All shareholders are Canadian companies. Not subject to US CLOUD Act or foreign jurisdiction.

As geopolitical tensions reshape global supply chains, Canadian organizations need compute infrastructure they can trust. Prairie2Cloud delivers AI sovereignty without compromise.
Prairie2Cloud's Indigenous partnership is grounded in mutual benefit and self-determined economic development. In Treaty 4 Territory, we're building a model where Canadian national jurisdiction pairs with Indigenous governance participation — equity, decision-making, and community economic development, not just procurement targets.
Prairie2Cloud's engagement with the First Nations Power Authority identified 300–400 MW of solar potential on Treaty 4 lands — a framework for Indigenous-owned energy supply to the data centre campus as the project advances.
Indigenous equity participation in Prairie2Cloud infrastructure — not just procurement targets. Our engagement with Treaty 4 Nations establishes a framework for meaningful ownership in sovereign Canadian AI infrastructure.
Indigenous workforce training through SIIT partnerships, data centre operations certification, and local hiring commitments. Building capacity that creates lasting economic opportunity beyond construction.
Deploy first 10 MW IT load with GPU-ready infrastructure. Establish operational excellence, prove Saskatchewan economics, and build foundation for rapid scaling.
Demand-validated expansion to 100 MW IT load. Proven operational model and tenant demand drive scaling decisions.
Full campus build-out to 300 MW. Canada's premier sovereign AI compute campus with net-zero pathway via Belle Plaine Carbon Corridor.
Site infrastructure capable of 1 GW with a sovereign-grade hyperscaler partner. 100% Canadian ownership maintained throughout all phases.
Our founding team brings 28+ years leading Saskatchewan's gas transmission infrastructure and $10B+ in technology acquisition due diligence. Backed by senior advisors from energy and project management.
† Capital figures reflect Prairie2Cloud's revised Class 5 estimate (May 2026), which supersedes the capital figures in the February 2026 ISED AI Compute Access Fund application. AACE Class 5 accuracy range: −30% / +50%. Technical parameters (power, cooling, PUE) as detailed in the ISED application.
President & CEO
28 years leading Saskatchewan's gas transmission infrastructure — from pipeline operations to executive leadership at TransGas / SaskEnergy. Deep relationships across Saskatchewan's energy, regulatory, and Indigenous communities. Erwin brings the land position, gas supply agreements, and stakeholder trust that make Prairie2Cloud execution-ready.
CTO
Former Microsoft M&A — led open-source technology ingestion and technical due diligence across $10.5B+ in completed acquisitions. Built TreeListy, a production AI application serving users globally. Garnet brings hyperscaler-grade technical architecture, AI infrastructure design, and enterprise technology partnerships to Prairie2Cloud.
Supported by senior advisors in project management, energy economics, and capital markets.
Prairie2Cloud submitted its formal application to ISED's AI Compute Access Fund in February 2026. The project addresses critical western Canadian sovereign compute capacity gaps identified in Canada's national AI infrastructure strategy. Technical projections on this site are drawn from that submission; capital figures reflect the project's revised Class 5 estimate (May 2026), which supersedes the submission's capital figures.
