IREN Prince George: Canal Flats Data Center
About Canal Flats Data Center
The Canal Flats Data Center, operated by IREN (Iris Energy), is a large-scale, renewable-powered infrastructure facility located in Canal Flats, British Columbia. Designed to support high-performance compute (HPC), AI workloads, and energy-intensive digital infrastructure, the site leverages British Columbia’s abundant hydroelectric power resources to deliver sustainable, cost-effective operations.
Strategically positioned in southeastern British Columbia, the Canal Flats facility benefits from access to low-carbon, grid-connected hydroelectric energy, cool climate conditions, and stable regulatory frameworks. As part of IREN’s broader Canadian portfolio — including Prince George operations — the site is purpose-built for hyperscale compute environments requiring high-density power delivery and efficient thermal management.
The facility is engineered to support large-scale deployments, offering scalable capacity aligned with AI, blockchain infrastructure, and next-generation compute demands.
