Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE)

Bell AI Fabric Merritt is a significant component of Bell Canada's national AI Fabric network, designed to be the country's largest planned infrastructure project for high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) computing. Located on a 5-acre site adjacent to the Merritt Municipal Airport in Merritt, British Columbia, this facility will deliver 7 megawatts (MW) of hydro-powered AI computing capacity upon its opening by the end of 2025.

The Merritt data center is part of a broader six-facility strategy by Bell, aiming to provide over 500 MW of environmentally responsible computing power across Canada. The site benefits from Merritt's strategic location at the junction of major provincial highways, its clean energy availability, affordable land, and ample electrical capacity with a substation built for expansion.

Utilizing a closed-loop water cooling system for water conservation, the facility is poised to support businesses, researchers, and public institutions. The surrounding area offers potential for reusing surplus heat from the data center for agrotech and industrial purposes, fostering innovation and job creation within British Columbia's growing AI sector.
