Getting power in British Columbia
Effectively closed to unsolicited load: capacity is capped and allocated by competitive call, not first-come-first-served.
The full British Columbia record, with the route to power, the binding constraint and every dated policy event.
Sources
Part of IREN’s British Columbia portfolio. Energized capacity is per IREN’s FY2025 10-K property table. A conversion toward high-performance compute has been announced; the workload mix is in transition and no split is asserted here. An earlier 50 MW to 80 MW expansion claim from 2022 could not be independently confirmed.
