On July 2, 2025, the Ontario government unveiled a major shift in its energy policy, directly impacting the province's booming data centre industry. In this episode, we break down the new plan to move away from automatic grid connections for these power-intensive facilities.
With connection requests from data centres now demanding over 6,500 megawatts of power—roughly 30% of Ontario's 2024 peak demand—the government is introducing new legislation to manage this growth. Learn about the "Protect Ontario by Securing Affordable Energy for Generations Act, 2025," and its goals to prioritize projects that create high-quality jobs and deliver clear economic benefits.
We'll also explore the significant focus on data sovereignty, a move designed to ensure Canadian data is stored within Canada, shielded from what the government calls "weaker foreign privacy regimes". Hear directly from key officials like Energy Minister Stephen Lecce and tech leaders from Communitech and the University of Waterloo on why this strategic management of energy is vital for Ontario's economic and digital future.
