GPU rental prices for Montreal buyers
Hourly GPU prices are set across the US market rather than per city, so this is the benchmark every Montreal quote should beat. Week-to-week moves are tracked on the GPU price tracker.

Power, density and cooling in Montreal
- Grid: Quebec hydro. Supply: The provincial hydro utility.
- Utility power: 5.83 Canadian cents/kWh, Montreal large power, April 2025 (Hydro-Quebec price comparison, 2025). At 80% average draw and a PUE of 1.3, metered power is about $32 per kW per month, so a 40 kW GPU rack draws about $1,263 a month in power alone.
- Typical density: Facilities commonly support 10 to 30 kW per rack; cold winters extend free-cooling hours for air-cooled racks. (market estimate, October 2026)
An 8-GPU H100 or H200 server is rated at about 10.2 kW and a B200 or B300 server at about 14 kW, so a rack of four is 40 to 57 kW. That is past what most air-cooled halls can hold. See rack power density and cooling.
Rent, reserve or own in Montreal
Rent on demand for experiments and bursts. Reserve 12 to 36 months for steady training or inference: reserved medians run below on-demand, and long terms on large clusters go lower still. Own when you can keep servers busy most hours for about three years; you then need Montreal rack space at roughly $8,500 to $11,500 a month per 40 kW (estimate, October 2026).

Montreal GPU questions
Why is GPU hosting in Montreal cheap to power?
Hydro power from the provincial utility is priced well below most North American markets, and the climate cuts cooling energy. The limit is how much new load the province authorizes.
How much does it cost to rent an H100 in Montreal?
GPU rental is priced nationally more than by city. The US median for H100 was $3.23 per GPU-hour reserved and $3.50 on demand in the week of October 12, 2026 (GetDeploying, CC BY 4.0). Quotes for Montreal capacity depend on term, count, interconnect and delivery date; we get at least three providers to bid on your spec.
What does it cost to host my own GPU servers in Montreal?
As a market estimate for October 2026: about $8,500 to $11,500 a month all-in for a 40 kW GPU rack, before high-density premiums. Where power is metered, Montreal utility power alone adds about $32 per kW per month at 80% draw and a PUE of 1.3, based on 5.83 Canadian cents/kWh, Montreal large power (April 2025).
Can you find GPU capacity in Montreal quickly?
Often within days for single nodes and small clusters; large reservations depend on energized power and delivery dates. Send the GPU model, count, term and start date and we come back within one business day.
Do providers see my company name?
Providers bid blind: they see the technical spec only, never your name, email, phone or company, and never a file you upload. We introduce you only to the provider you pick.
