<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 正在擴展其人工智能能力，計劃在不列顛哥倫比亞省新建兩個數據中心，並擴建第三個。位於坎盧普斯的設施將在今年晚些時候投入運營，而位於温哥華的兩個新站點預計將在 2026 年至 2029 年之間開放。此次擴展旨在滿足強勁的需求，並將在 2032 年之前將集羣的容量提高到超過 150 兆瓦，預計將創造約 90 億加元的經濟價值，並創造超過 1,000 個建築工作崗位。這些站點將在運營中利用 98% 的可再生能源
