FAQ

Wonder Valley is a phased digital and industrial infrastructure platform intended to support large-scale data center and compute deployment together with the enabling power, water, and site systems required for long-term operations.

O'Leary Digital is the project owner and developer advancing phased digital and industrial infrastructure platform intended to support large-scale data center and compute deployment together with the enabling power, water, and site systems required for long-term operations. O'Leary Digital operates with a disciplined, execution-first philosophy focused on reliability, sustainability, and long-term performance.

A data center is a facility that houses computer systems and digital infrastructure used to store, process, and transmit data. Data centers support a wide range of digital services, including cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and online platforms that people and businesses rely on every day.

The platform is designed to scale incrementally rather than all at once. Sites are planned with sufficient land base and infrastructure capacity to support multi-phase expansion, while development proceeds in stages aligned with permitting, infrastructure readiness, and demand.

Wonder Valley is committed to responsible development and to minimizing potential environmental impacts throughout the project lifecycle. As part of project planning and design, the development incorporates proven infrastructure and operational technologies intended to reduce water use, manage air emissions, and mitigate noise, consistent with applicable regulatory standards. Environmental performance considerations are integrated into design decisions as the Utah and Alberta projects advance through their respective planning, permitting, and technical review processes, with oversight provided through established regulatory frameworks.

Wonder Valley Utah is a proposed, phased data center and digital infrastructure development that forms part of the broader Wonder Valley platform. The initial development phase is expected to include up to 2 GW of on-site power generation, supporting up to ten data center buildings, each sized at approximately 100 MW of IT capacity. This phased delivery approach allows infrastructure and facilities to be brought online progressively as development milestones are met. Over time, the project is designed to expand through additional phases, with future capacity growth contingent on further planning, regulatory approvals, and market demand.

Wonder Valley Utah is located in Box Elder County, Utah, within the Salt Wells Flats area. The site sits within a natural valley that provides separation from nearby population centers while remaining within reasonable distance of regional services, labor, and transportation corridors.

Wonder Valley Utah is in the development stage. Work is underway across land control, permitting preparation, infrastructure planning, engineering, and stakeholder engagement.

The Utah project site is approximately 13,000 acres.

Power for Wonder Valley Utah will be provided through on-site power generation developed in phases. This approach is intended to align power availability with project sequencing and reduce reliance on incremental grid capacity as the project expands.

Wonder Valley Utah is planned to be powered through on-site electricity generation, with power infrastructure developed in phases alongside data center construction. Electricity for the project's core operations is intended to be generated on site, rather than sourced from Utah's electrical grid.

Since power for Wonder Valley Utah is planned to be generated on site, the project is will not rely on Utah's public electrical grid for its core power needs. As a result, it is not anticipated to impact grid capacity or residential or commercial electricity rates.

Water requirements for Wonder Valley Utah are primarily associated with power generation rather than data center cooling. The project plans to source water from on-site and regional water resources supported by legally acquired water rights, sufficient to support phased development.

As part of project planning and design, Wonder Valley Utah incorporates proven infrastructure and operational technologies intended to reduce overall water requirements, improve efficiency, and manage consumption over time. Water use and management approaches are reviewed through established regulatory and technical processes as the project advances.

Wonder Valley Utah is expected to support substantial construction activity and ongoing operations over time. During periods when facilities are operating while additional phases are under construction, the project will support several thousand on-site jobs, in addition to indirect economic activity related to housing, retail, hospitality, and services.

The Utah site was selected based on several strategic factors, including its large, contiguous land base, separation from population centers, access to infrastructure such as a major natural gas pipeline and proximity to a regional workforce. The site's location provides the ability to develop at scale while remaining within reach of a sizable labor pool and regional transportation networks. Utah has also demonstrated a supportive and predictable environment for advancing complex infrastructure projects.

Wonder Valley Alberta is a proposed data center project planned in northwest Alberta as part of the broader Wonder Valley platform. The project is intended to support large-scale AI and digital infrastructure by co-locating data centers with dedicated on-site power and supporting utilities.

The first phase of development is expected to include up to 2 GW of on-site power generation, sufficient to support up to ten data center buildings, each designed for roughly 100 MW of IT capacity. Infrastructure and facilities are planned to be delivered incrementally, enabling capacity to be added in stages rather than built all at once.

Wonder Valley Alberta is in the Municipal District of Greenview No. 16, approximately 42 km south of Grande Prairie, within the Greenview Industrial Gateway (GIG) Area Structure Plan Boundary. The GIG is a purpose-designed industrial zone that has been planned and serviced over more than a decade to support large-scale energy and industrial development.

The Alberta project area is approximately 13,000 acres.

Wonder Valley Alberta is in the development stage, with work underway across regulatory planning and permitting, Indigenous and stakeholder consultation, site and infrastructure design, technical studies, and early execution planning.

No. The project was subject to a standard regulatory determination under Alberta law and did not meet the statutory threshold that would trigger a mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment. This determination reflects established classification criteria applied consistently across projects of this type.

Yes. The project remains subject to multiple regulatory approvals and ongoing oversight, including environmental and water-related permitting requirements. Regulatory review continues as the project advances through development stages.

Wonder Valley Alberta is planned to be powered through on-site electricity generation, with power infrastructure developed in phases alongside data center construction. Electricity for the project's core operations is intended to be generated on site, rather than sourced from Alberta's electrical grid.

Since power for Wonder Valley Alberta is planned to be generated on site, the project is will not rely on Alberta's public electrical grid for its core power needs. As a result, it is not anticipated to impact grid capacity or residential or commercial electricity rates.

Water use at Wonder Valley Alberta is being planned in alignment with phased development and applicable regulatory requirements. Water sourcing, storage, treatment, wastewater, and stormwater systems are advancing through established regulatory and technical review processes. The project holds licensed access to an annual water supply of up to 6 million cubic meters for Phase 1, with withdrawals from the Smoky River system in accordance with all applicable regulations.

Project design and planning incorporate proven technologies and operating practices intended to reduce water requirements and support efficient use as development progresses. Water-related infrastructure and management approaches are reviewed through applicable regulatory processes as the project advances.
