Montreal Data Center (YUL1)

Hydroelectric-powered Tier III data center in Montreal - low PUE, low latency to Toronto, and a Québec data-residency story.

YUL1 runs on Québec hydroelectric power year-round. Cool ambient temperatures push PUE below 1.20 for ten months of the year. Sub-15ms to YYZ1 via two diverse fiber routes makes it ideal for DR pairings, regulated workloads requiring Québec residency, and AI training where electricity cost dominates.
