Project overview

Integrated power and data infrastructure.

The Armada Nowlit Clive Facility is planned as a compact, secured, single-purpose development in Lacombe County.

The latest Concept Plan describes an integrated natural gas-fired power generation facility and on-site modular data processing development at LSD 8-16-040-24 W4M.

The facility is intended to proceed as one managed operational area and a single phase, subject to regulatory approvals. Its design combines nine enclosed generator sets, selective catalytic reduction systems, closed-loop liquid cooling, electrical distribution, controlled access, fencing and supporting site infrastructure.

Location and access

A compact facility in Lacombe County’s rural working landscape.

The site is located on privately owned cultivated land, approximately 5.5 km from the Village of Clive by straight-line distance and about 8.5 km by road.

Legal location LSD 8-16-040-24 W4M

Lacombe County, Alberta.

Primary access Range Road 243

A paved Secondary Local Main Road with a new controlled site connection proposed.

Operational profile Secure and low traffic

Routine operations are automated, remotely monitored and expected to generate limited service visits.

Concept construction access route for the Clive Facility
Concept construction access route — final routing remains subject to County coordination and the Traffic Accommodation Plan.
Latest concept plan

One coordinated operational footprint.

The current layout groups generation, modular data processing, emissions controls, access and drainage measures within a compact, controlled site.

Figures and project information are reproduced from the Updated Final Concept Plan. Final design and timing remain subject to detailed engineering and required approvals.

Infrastructure and safeguards

Designed for efficient, contained operation.

The Concept Plan combines existing rural infrastructure with controls for water, emissions, noise, drainage, lighting and emergency response.

01 / GAS SUPPLY

Pipeline tie-in

Natural gas is intended to be supplied through a connection to existing distribution infrastructure, avoiding routine fuel deliveries.

02 / COOLING

Closed-loop liquid cooling

Initial water-glycol fill is approximately 250–300 litres per unit and will be trucked to site, with no municipal water connection or groundwater well proposed.

03 / COMMUNITY

Managed rural interface

Air and noise studies support applicable compliance; dark-sky lighting, security fencing and a 1.5 m screening berm are incorporated into the planning framework.

Technical evidence

Engineering studies, made visible.

Selected figures from the current Concept Plan show the meteorological basis and modelled air and noise performance used in project planning.

Anticipated schedule

A short modular construction window.

The Updated Final Concept Plan anticipates an approximately one-month construction period, subject to required approvals.

March 2027

Construction starts

Site preparation, foundations, equipment delivery and installation are planned to begin.

April 2027

Construction completion

Modular construction and commissioning preparation are expected to conclude.
