Getting power in Manitoba
Closed to unsolicited large load: government now picks which projects get power, and it has already said no to at least one data centre.

Built around 2015 by Manitoba Telecom Services and Bell MTS at 7.5 MW, and sold to Equinix as part of a US$780M national deal in 2020. An established, active commercial IBX facility rather than a new project, so its capacity is shown as operating. The 7.5 MW figure traces to a single secondary source.
