100% Alberta-owned at formation. Local farmers get first right to invest in Round 1. Landowner equity plus profit-sharing — by design.
HoldCo → ProjectCo structure with landowner equity and profit-sharing embedded from day one. Local farmers get first right to invest in Round 1. We'd rather give up a term sheet than give up the ownership story.

The figures below describe the local impact of a single 500 MW phase step — the Phase 1 footprint. They scale roughly linearly with each additional 500 MW as we build toward a 2 GW corridor. Four phase steps means roughly four times the jobs, tax base, community fund, and payroll.
Palliser Grid commits approximately $1.2 million per year to adjacent communities for the first 500 MW phase step, with a base escalation up to ~$2.5 million per year per step at 2 GW scale. Governed by a Community Benefit Agreement with a CPI escalator. Final allocations developed with adjacent local communities.
Created by tenants operating at each 500 MW phase step. Annual tenant payroll in the $7.5M–$12M+ range per step. Local hiring commitments built into tenant lease terms. Headcount and payroll compound as additional phase steps come online.
Combined impact per 500 MW phase step (property tax + community fund + tenant payroll). Current farmland tax on 850 acres: ~$2,400/yr. The contrast is over 5,300×, just for the first step.
How this scales. At 2 GW corridor scale (four 500 MW phase steps), these benefits compound toward roughly 400–480 permanent FTE, $30M–$48M+ annual tenant payroll, and on the order of $70M+ combined annual local impact — before CPI escalation. Numbers are directional, not a commitment; each phase step is re-negotiated with adjacent local communities.
Hybrid DLC at 0.5 L/kWh plus the secured BRID amendment means Phase 1 water use is lower than the surrounding irrigated agriculture the land was already supporting.
Ongoing face-to-face meetings with landowners and adjacent communities. Public hearing held April 1, 2026. Direct-concerns contact lines open to neighbours. No consultants reading slides at strangers.
