QC-1 is located within a 3-million-ft² operating industrial complex, designed around a massive 30 MW continuous hot-water demand from on-site manufacturing operations. The facility offers 30 MW of data center power and 75,000 ft² of IT-ready space, implemented as a retrofit for efficient integration with the existing utility and thermal systems. Recovered heat from QC-1 directly offsets high-temperature boiler and process loads, enabling material decarbonization of industrial workflows. The site supports multiple carriers and has a 12-month deployment timeline, suitable for large-scale, heat-reuse compute installations.
FirstBlock builds data center campuses around a simple idea: the best digital infrastructure begins with the best energy. Originating in Québec, we developed deep expertise in identifying clean, low-cost power markets and transforming them into high-performance environments for cloud, AI, and HPC operators. Today, we apply that expertise across Canada, selecting regions with stable, low-carbon power and shaping them into liquid-ready, high-density sites optimized for next-generation workloads.
Our campuses turn energy advantages into operational benefits. Advanced hydrocooling and large-scale heat-reuse systems drive consistently low PUE, improving efficiency while reducing environmental impact. Each location is prepared for rapid deployment with permitting, utility alignment, and engineering groundwork already completed, giving tenants a predictable and accelerated path to scale.
By combining energy intelligence, sustainable engineering, and a commitment to long-term cost competitiveness, FirstBlock offers operators a reliable, efficient infrastructure platform built for growth.
