EverWind's $10B Nova Scotia plan: 768 MW wind, 420 MW data centre, green hydrogen and ammonia at Point Tupper

EverWind Fuels says it will spend more than $10 billion on a wind-powered data centre campus and onshore wind farms in Nova Scotia. The biggest piece is $8 billion for a data centre at Point Tupper that could reach 420 MW. The other $2 billion goes to four wind projects, Bear Lake, Windy Ridge, Kmtnuk and Upper Afton, with up to 768 MW of capacity. The company also plans to produce green hydrogen and ammonia at the site, with the first phase targeting 200,000 tonnes of ammonia per year. The first 95 MW phase has a long-term lease with an unnamed AI developer and is expected to start in late 2027. EverWind says the campus will use closed-loop cooling, average about 100,000 litres of water a day in its first phase, and include battery storage to reduce strain on the provincial grid. The company also says water and electricity infrastructure costs will be covered by project funding, so local ratepayers do not see higher rates. The plan links data centre growth to renewable generation and green fuels, which makes it relevant to anyone tracking Atlantic Canada's energy transition. The open questions are interconnection timelines, how the wind projects get built, and whether the ratepayer protections hold up as the project scales.
