How much data center capacity Canada has installed, how it compares with the rest of North America, and what our trackers show about its sites, operators, deals and rules.
Canada data center capacity at a glance
Canada had about 1.8 GW of installed data center capacity (IT load) at the end of 2025, by our estimate. That is about 4% of the capacity in North America and puts Canada at number 6 of the 26 countries in our global model. Our Data Center Tracker holds 1 sites in Canada run by 1 operators: 0 operational, 1 under construction and 0 planned. Our trackers also hold 5 verified deals and 0 government measures in force for the country.
Installed capacity is IT load, the power available to servers, storage and network. The country figure comes from the same model as the global and regional totals and is benchmarked against dated public figures. Site figures below are what each source states, often a campus’s full build-out, so they are not the same measure.
