siberX Power Co Modernizing Alberta with Smart Grid Technology

Calgary, AB

siberX PowerCo is taking bold steps to redefine Alberta’s energy future. The company announced a province-wide modernization program that will integrate smart inverter systems, real-time data analytics, and AI-driven grid optimization across its renewable and conventional energy sites.

The initiative, dubbed “Project Aurora,” is designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce transmission losses, and enable faster recovery from local disruptions. By deploying thousands of intelligent inverters across wind and solar farms, PowerCo aims to make Alberta’s grid self-stabilizing and adaptive, capable of responding instantly to shifts in demand or generation.

“These upgrades are about more than just infrastructure,” said Elise Varnholt, CEO of SiberX PowerCo. “They’re about building a grid that learns, adjusts, and protects itself in real time. Alberta is ready to lead the next era of energy intelligence.”

PowerCo’s AI data centres will serve as the digital command layer, continuously analyzing grid telemetry and predicting potential stress points before they occur. The company says the integration of AI into grid management will allow for more efficient renewable balancing, quicker fault isolation, and a measurable cut in carbon output.

The modernization project, set to roll out through late 2025, positions PowerCo as one of Canada’s most forward-looking energy providers. Analysts describe the move as a “transformational step” toward an autonomous grid ecosystem, where automation and sustainability work hand in hand.

“Smart technology allows us to bridge clean energy and reliability,” Varnholt added. “It’s about giving Albertans the confidence that their power system is both innovative and dependable.””
