* Figure reflects projections at full 800 MW buildout, based on Statistics Canada Input-Output multipliers (Table 36-10-0013-01) and a Goldman Sachs benchmark for tenant infrastructure investment, accounting for hardware replacement over contract term. Current contracted capacity is approximately 400 MW across British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Actual figures will vary as capacity scales.
