Verified Reports — Infrastructure desk | September 26, 2026 HyperCan AI Data Centres has published a proposal for a 45 megawatt secure research data centre in Brantford, Ontario, aimed at Canadian scientific discovery, artificial intelligence innovation, and advanced industrial computing for universities, research institutions, and technology firms. Features highlighted on the company's projects page include proximity to high-capacity electricity infrastructure with room to expand, a high-security perimeter with around-the-clock monitoring, on-site lithium-ion battery storage, environmentally responsible operations, and access to freshwater through municipal systems and local waterways. HyperCan describes the Brantford campus as pairing high-performance infrastructure with a secure design and the utility access required for research-scale workloads that demand reliability and isolation. Timeline disclosed publicly: projected construction start Q2 2027, expected completion Q2 2028. Brantford's location within southwestern Ontario's industrial and research corridor makes the proposal relevant to ongoing policy discussions about securing sensitive research data domestically while meeting rising electricity and water requirements for AI facilities. Verified Reports will track municipal and provincial review processes as they become public. Source: HyperCan AI Data Centres, Projects page (hypercanai.com/projects), accessed September 2026.
