British Columbia AI and Data-Center Policy

British Columbia has 6 tracked bills on artificial intelligence and data centers: 6 enacted.

Where things stand

British Columbia is playing the brakes on data center growth. Bill 31 (Energy Statutes Amendment Act, 2025) caps AI and data center grid connections at a combined 400 MW every two years and replaces first-come-first-served with a competitive bid — while crypto mining is permanently banned from the BC Hydro grid. AI governance itself runs on a public-sector code of practice, not binding legislation.
