Mackenzie
Project of IREN
Where it stands
IREN lists Mackenzie, British Columbia as an 80 MW data center site, and is converting it to air-cooled AI Cloud capacity, with GPU installations under way and funded by a $2.4 billion Blue Owl-led GPU financing. Customers are already renting capacity there, as reported in October 2026 coverage of SemiAnalysis's reliability complaints, while the company's October 2026 proxy still describes GPU installations at Mackenzie as ongoing. The passages do not say how many MW are energized or billing versus still being installed.
