McCord Investments places the critical energy assets behind Canada's largest builds and sources equipment for buyers worldwide, drawing on supply from Canadian yards to global markets, wherever the right unit sits closest to your date.
Demand for power has outrun the infrastructure built to deliver it. We source complete generation units, turbine components, and electrical infrastructure from Canadian yards and global markets. Placed in Canada, delivered worldwide.
1 to 50+ MW, complete and trailer-mounted. 60 Hz confirmed before anything else happens.
Outage-critical parts sourced by OEM part number, aeroderivative to frame class.
The electrical block that turns raw power into a working site.
For equipment you can't find through normal channels. We search on your side and you pay only on delivery. How it works
A specific requirement gets a specific answer. The more exact the model, part number, and date, the faster we come back with availability.
Set your load, province, and timing. We show the gap the grid leaves, and how we close it.
Established supply channels in Canada, across North America, and abroad, including critical path equipment that conventional procurement cannot reach within the timelines that matter.
Direct placement of power and infrastructure assets with developers and operators, structured around the single constraint that governs every build. Time.
A privately held vehicle. Unencumbered, decisive, and built to move at the pace constrained asset markets demand.
By generating on site instead of waiting in the interconnection queue. McCord Investments sources 60 Hz power generation from Canadian and global supply and places it on the site, with customs, transport, and compliance handled. In Alberta, where the grid is effectively allocated, bring-your-own-power is now the preferred route.
Alberta's interim large-load cap of 1,200 MW has been fully allocated to just two projects, while roughly 19,000 MW of requested load across more than 50 projects remains unserved as of the June 2026 connection list. The AESO is now developing a long-term connection framework through a multi-year process, and transmission build-out runs for years, so developers are turning to on-site generation.
Order backlogs at the major manufacturers now run about five years for heavy-duty gas turbines, with delivery slots selling into 2030 and some advisors telling buyers to plan on seven to eight year timelines. Prices have roughly tripled since 2019. That wait is why serious buyers turn to verified secondary units and available-now generation, which is the market McCord Investments works in.
Yes. McCord Investments sources turbine parts and outage-critical components by OEM part number, from aeroderivative to frame class, along with electrical balance of plant. Send the part number, quantity, and delivery country through the requirement form and a principal replies within one business day.
Yes. McCord Investments is based in Alberta and places equipment in Canada, and it also sources for buyers in the United States, Australia, and other markets. Active requirements have included turbine components for US delivery and gas turbines for Australia.
Yes. For equipment that cannot be found through normal channels, McCord Investments works under a written search agreement and represents the buyer only. The fee is 2 percent of the transaction value, payable only when equipment is delivered. No retainer, no title, no inventory, and nothing taken from any seller.
Yes. McCord Investments sources from Canadian owners as well as global markets. A unit already in Canada can be inspected in days and avoids import lead time, which often makes it the fastest path to power.
No. Gas is used where speed is the priority, and McCord Investments sources lower-carbon generation where a project's timeline and obligations call for it. It sources both.
It is the date a site is actually energized. McCord Investments shortens that date by placing available generation on the pad ahead of the grid queue, rather than waiting years for a grid connection.
No. McCord Investments is asset-light. It sources generation from vetted Canadian and global suppliers and places it in Canada, which keeps delivery fast and flexible. Equipment, lead times, and pricing are confirmed in writing before any commitment.
Quebec has proposed a new data centre electricity rate of about 13 cents per kWh, roughly double large-power rates and expected to take effect in the second half of 2026 subject to Régie approval, while forecasting data centre load to grow sevenfold by 2035. On-site gas can hedge rising grid costs.
McCord Investments sources power generation globally and places it in Canada, with a focus on Alberta, and delivers for buyers in the United States, Australia, and other markets.
