Regulatory shift in AB: Oil & Gas operating licenses may soon be tied directly to municipal property tax compliance. With $250M in historical tax arrears deemed unrecoverable, tracking operator liabilities is more critical than ever. Let data drive accountability. westernstandard.news/news/alberta-o… 💡📉 #Alberta #EnergySector #Compliance #NewWestData

Well worth the read!

2/2 The immediate solution? The digital asset industry. Bitcoin miners already control gigawatts of high-density, behind-the-meter power. At New West Data, we have a stand-out track record of transforming our owned, off-grid energy to power digital asset mining in less than 90 days. And we're ready to do the same with high performance compute.

1/2 AI power demand is projected to surge 175% by 2030, but the traditional U.S. grid is tapped out. In major markets, interconnection delays are now pushing 7 years. You can't run next-gen AI models on a grid that takes half a decade to upgrade. 🧵👇

4/4 In 2026, the only true hedge against energy inflation is ownership and we are proudly monetizing energy independence. #BitcoinMining #EnergySecurity #DataCentres #OilAndGas

3/4 We don't have gas egress issues. We have low-cost energy opportunities to power compute. By owning the gas wells that others can't monetize, we turn a midstream bottleneck into an upstream advantage. No transmission fees. No curtailment. Pure uptime.

1/4 Data centres are projected to consume 945 TWh by 2030, roughly the entire electricity output of Japan. ⚡️ The grid is choked. Prices in North America are climbing 4-5% YoY. If your business model relies on "plugging in" and hoping for cheap grid power, you're in trouble.🧵👇

📈 Power 2026 forecast: AI/HPC demand -> grid strain and rate hikes. If you are an on-grid data centre, your margins are being squeezed on both sides. Not us. We turn stranded gas into sovereign compute. No grid congestion fees. No curtailment. Just 24/7 uptime at ~50% the cost of our peers. Own the energy, own the outcome. ⚡️🛢️ #Energy #Mining #Compute

For data centres and miners on the grid, Winter Storm Fern was a stress test. Spoiler: most failed. The storm exposed a critical fragility in the grid: In the east, it broke the price model. In the west, it broke the uptime model. Here is the tale of two crises (and the one solution). 🧵👇 1: Eastern Price Shock 💸 In PJM, frozen gas lines met surging demand. Spot prices ripped as high as $4,000 per MWh. If you were grid-connected without a fixed hedge, your OpEx for the quarter was wiped out in 48 hours. Efficiency doesn't matter when power costs 80x your budget. 2: Western Availability Shock 🛑 Alberta (AESO) faced a different crisis. Cold + Generator failures = Grid Alerts. It wasn't about price. It was about survival. Miners and interruptible loads were forced to curtail to zero. 0% Uptime during the peak of the storm meant lost revenue. The Lesson: If you rely on the grid, and a storm hits, you either pay the surge pricing or you go dark. We insulated ourselves by vertically integrating. We own the well. We own the power. While others blew budgets or lost revenue, we operated at 100% capacity with fixed cost, sovereign uptime. In 2026, you can't hedge reliability with financial derivatives. You hedge it with infrastructure. #EnergySecurity #EnergyScarcity #WinterStormFern

Thank you for the shout-out and your continued support, Jaime!

Did you know? Nuclear power can take 7 years to build out. ⚛️ Gas plants can take 5 years. 🏭 New West Data brings power online in 90 days. We are bridging the energy gap by liberating stranded gas for immediate compute. The fastest MWs in the west. ⚡️📈

Did you know there are 10,000+ wells in Alberta stranded by a lack of infrastructure? 🇨🇦 We are turning that waste into value. ⚡️ 28 Active Sites ⚡️ 15 MW On-site Power ⚡️ 300 BOE/d Production We are turning liabilities into digital egress. #Bitcoin #Energy #Compute

The US grid is facing emergency auctions. Data centres are fighting for scraps of power. Meanwhile, we’re operating in Alberta, entirely off-grid. Our CEO Sean McDonough joined the Monday Morning Mining podcast to explain why owning the power source is the secret sauce in an energy crunch.⚡️🛢️ 🎧 Watch here: x.com/i/broadcasts/1… #BitcoinMining #EnergyCrisis #OffGrid #OilandGas

Well said @tobi ! @NewWestData is doing just that: we're an Albertan oil, gas, and compute company that monetizes otherwise uneconomic natural gas through bitcoin mining and distributed compute. We appreciate the endorsement of @Alberta as the best jurisdiction in North America to build out off-grid power to data centers!

Oil + Bitcoin = resilience. Uncorrelated lines of revenue FTW! 💪

We really have the best team in the biz - meet Dorn, our VP Operations, a 25+ year oil and gas veteran turned miner who is onsite near Grande Prairie where we're producing barrels of oil while using the natural gas to power bitcoin mining!

The future is power - the @IEA says that data centre demand is going to be at 945 TWh by 2030 - that's the entire consumption of Japan. We don't strain the grid - we mine by liberating natural gas at our remote, off-grid wells #digitalegress
