Again, it's a great question. The provinces have regulators. The federal government doesn't regulate electricity allocations of megawatts or gigawatts.
Every province has a different landscape here. For example, the regulator in Alberta, AESO, recently released 1.2 gigawatts of power tied to the grid. They have natural gas and they believe that's a really important investment. They don't think that will impact their ratepayers.
Just in the last week, B.C. has also released about 300 megawatts of power tied to the grid. Others will incentivize companies—again, not through the federal government—to build what's called “behind the fence”. They'll build data centres not tied to the grid, so you'll have to bring your own. It's like BYOP: Bring your own power.
