<div id="readability-page-1"><div> By Robb M. Stewart <pre></pre> Telus is stepping up its artificial intelligence push with plans for two new data centers and the expansion of a third in Western Canada in response to strong demand. The communications-technology company said it will scale up a sovereign AI cluster in British Columbia with an expansion of its existing Kamloops data center and the development with Westbank of a pair of facilities in the Vancouver area. The Kamloops AI factory will come online later this year, the M3 facility in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighborhood will open at the end of 2026 and scale through 2028, and the 150 West Georgia facility will come online in 2029, Telus said. The move will grow the cluster's total capacity to more than 150 megawatts by 2032. The three-site cluster will house AI infrastructure featuring high-performance Nvidia graphics processing units to support large-scale AI model training, complex simulations and production-scale deployment, the company said. It added the sites will be powered by 98% renewable energy. Once fully scaled, Telus said the cluster is expected to deliver about 9 billion Canadian dollars (US$6.6 billion) in economic value to British Columbia, create more than 1,000 construction jobs and hundreds of high-skilled operations roles. Telus' first sovereign AI factory in Rimouski, Quebec, opened last September and now is fully sold out, it said. <pre></pre> Write to Robb M.

Telus 正在扩展其人工智能能力，计划在不列颠哥伦比亚省新建两个数据中心，并扩建第三个。位于坎卢普斯的设施将在今年晚些时候投入运营，而位于温哥华的两个新站点预计将在 2026 年至 2029 年之间开放。此次扩展旨在满足强劲的需求，并将在 2032 年之前将集群的容量提高到超过 150 兆瓦，预计将创造约 90 亿加元的经济价值，并创造超过 1,000 个建筑工作岗位。这些站点将在运营中利用 98% 的可再生能源
