Keel Infrastructure: Cowansville
About Cowansville
Cowansville, Québec is a power-focused digital infrastructure facility serving energy-intensive compute workloads in southern Québec. The site originated in the Bitfarms operating portfolio and is now aligned with Keel Infrastructure’s North American platform for high-performance computing, AI infrastructure, and data center energy assets. Cowansville sits in Québec’s Estrie region near Bromont, Granby, Farnham, and Montréal, giving the facility access to regional industrial infrastructure and a hydroelectric power market.
The Cowansville facility delivers 17 MW of installed power capacity and was developed as a new 17 MW site replacing an earlier 4 MW Bitcoin mining facility. Hydro-Québec began delivering power to the facility in October 2021, supporting a site design focused on greater operating efficiency, stronger controls, and lower sound emissions. The facility has supported Whatsminer M30S and M31S infrastructure, with roughly 4,800 miners and approximately 419 PH/s of compute capacity.
Cowansville provides a Québec location for deployments that prioritize power availability, cool-climate operations, and Canadian jurisdictional placement. The facility is positioned near Montréal Saint-Hubert Longueuil Airport, Hydro-Québec, Bromont, and the Montréal regional market. Keel Infrastructure’s current platform develops and owns data centers and energy infrastructure for HPC and AI workloads, placing Cowansville inside a broader portfolio spanning Québec, Pennsylvania, and Washington.
