TORONTO<\/span>, Nov. 5, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Validus Power Corp. (VPC) is pleased to announce further expansion in Northern Ontario<\/span> at a new site in Kapuskasing<\/span> following the recent ground-breaking of the North Bay<\/span> power plant and data centre.  This project includes the construction and operation of a new 32,000 square foot High Performance Compute hosting facility, with the revitalization of the Kapuskasing<\/span> combined cycle power plant, which Validus acquired earlier this year. As a part of an overall $100 million<\/span> investment in Northern Ontario<\/span>, Validus will re-open the 45MW plant under its modernization plan to gain additional operational efficiency and reduce emissions.  <\/p>\n

With active support from the Town of Kapuskasing<\/span>, Validus anticipates this site to be fully operational by early spring, and will bring approximately 25 highly skilled jobs to the local economy including engineers, millwrights, and data centre technicians. <\/p>\n

“This is really exciting for everyone involved and Kapuskasing<\/span> is an ideal location for us.  Reinvesting in Canada<\/span> and specifically Ontario’s<\/span> north is a natural fit,” said Todd Shortt<\/span>, President and CEO of Validus Power. “A data centre designed for high performance compute with steady reliable power fits well in a cool climate if you want to promote maximum operational efficiency.”<\/p>\n

“Northern Ontario<\/span> is the future of Ontario<\/span>. With that being said, we are extremely excited to announce the first phase of this project with Validus,” said Kapuskasing<\/span> Mayor David Plourde<\/span>.  “Bringing new and diverse jobs to the area is great for the economy and community overall. Also, incorporating our continuing reforestation program with Validus’ ESG initiatives is very synergistic.” <\/p>\n
