Power-first compute infrastructure platform in British Columbia. Our pipeline is under evaluation, focused on validated power pathways and disciplined execution before major capital deployment.
The AI infrastructure bottleneck is power, permitting, and time
Demand compounds faster than supply
Compute demand continues to accelerate exponentially, while power infrastructure and regulatory approvals move at traditional infrastructure timelines.
Interconnection is the constraint
Interconnection queues and permitting processes have become the primary gating factors for delivering real, operational data centre capacity at scale.
Power validation first
Avro's strategy focuses on identifying and validating viable power pathways through rigorous diligence before committing significant capital to any project.
Why British Columbia
British Columbia's structural advantage
Proven hydro-based electricity grid with established transmission infrastructure and regulatory clarity
Stable Western jurisdiction with strong alignment for long-term industrial planning
Competitive power costs through appropriate rate classes and load factor optimization
Natural fit for sovereignty-driven AI workloads and commercial hyperscaler demand
What Avro Does
Building AI data centres with distressed and stranded energy assets
Avro Technologies specializes in converting underutilized and stranded power infrastructure into high-performance AI compute facilities. We identify distressed energy assets across Canada and transform them into operational data centres that serve both sovereign AI workloads and commercial hyperscaler demand.
Distressed asset identification
Finding underutilized substations and stranded power infrastructure with untapped capacity
Technical conversion
Transforming power assets into compute-ready facilities through systematic validation and engineering
Operational deployment
Delivering commissioned data center capacity for AI and compute workloads
Pipeline Snapshot

4
Sites under screening
Active evaluation across British Columbia
60MW
Indicative combined potential
Preliminary capacity estimate subject to validation
Primary criterion
Focus on underutilized or stranded substation assets with existing transmission infrastructure that can be repurposed for compute workloads.
Behind-the-meter generation
Sites with co-located generation capabilities represent bonus opportunities where technically and commercially viable.
Early diligence stage
All sites remain in screening and early diligence phases. No site control is implied. Detailed information shared under NDA as diligence advances.
Sovereign AI Opportunity
National security meets data residency requirements
In-country compute preference
Accelerating demand for domestic compute infrastructure and data residency for sensitive and regulated workloads across public and private sectors.
Critical infrastructure drivers
Public sector entities, critical infrastructure operators, and regulated industries increasingly require sovereign compute capabilities for compliance and security.
Parallel market segments
Sovereign AI workloads and commercial hyperscaler colocation represent complementary opportunities within the same infrastructure platform.
Canada's position as a stable Western jurisdiction with strong data protection frameworks makes British Columbia particularly attractive for sovereignty-focused compute deployments seeking reliability and regulatory certainty.
