Paul Palandjian, CEO of O’Leary Ventures, shares a powerful behind-the-scenes look at the driving vision behind Wonder Valley — the world’s largest AI data center industrial park. Located in Northwest Alberta, Wonder Valley is strategically positioned above 200 trillion metric tons of stranded natural gas, unlocking an unprecedented opportunity to power next-generation data infrastructure with lower carbon intensity.
Palandjian outlines the challenges and opportunities of building scalable, energy-efficient data centers in today’s fast-evolving AI landscape — including carbon capture inefficiencies, the truth behind “green” data centers, and why companies like Amazon are more focused on real power delivery than aspirational sustainability claims.
Wonder Valley is more than a development — it’s a strategic response to the global demand for clean, powerful AI compute. With 8,000 acres under development and a projected 1.4 gigawatts of natural gas power in its first phase, Wonder Valley is built for performance, scale, and sustainability.
“We’re going to win this war,” says Palandjian. “We have the people, the capital, and the momentum. Now is the time to act.”
