  • Plans include completing permitting by Q1 2027, site energization starting late 2026, and expansion by adding new 9.9 MW sites based on demand, indicating scalable growth in AI infrastructure.
  • Sectors impacted include technology (AI and HPC infrastructure), energy (natural gas and power generation), and real estate development in Alberta.

Company to own each project vehicle and all project-level economics across a coordinated program of ten 9.9 MW sites

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FingerMotion, Inc. (Nasdaq: FNGR) (“FingerMotion” or the “Company”) today provided an update on its Alberta power and compute development program. The Company is advancing ten 9.9 megawatt behind-the-meter generation and data hall sites grouped into four campuses in Brooks, Coronation, Fox Creek and Vulcan, Alberta, representing 99 megawatts of gross generation capacity in development.

Each site is being developed in a dedicated Alberta project company. FingerMotion is the sole shareholder of each project company, which holds title to the land, permits and site agreements. Development, construction and site operations are performed by BlueFlare Group Holdings Inc., which takes title to none of the project assets.

What FingerMotion Is Seeking to Achieve

FingerMotion’s overall goal is to own behind-the-meter power generation and data hall capacity in Alberta at scale, and to contract that capacity to artificial intelligence and high-performance computing customers under long-term agreements. The Company is working toward the following objectives:

  • Completing permitting on all ten 9.9 megawatt sites—representing 99 megawatts of gross generation capacity and approximately 72 megawatts of aggregate continuous critical IT capacity—by the end of the first quarter of 2027.
  • Contracting that capacity under long-term take-or-pay agreements before committing construction capital to any individual site.
  • Energizing sites beginning in late fourth quarter 2026, with data halls reaching turnover approximately 18 months from award of the applicable permit.
  • Expanding each campus by adding further 9.9 megawatt sites in the same area as customer demand requires, rather than by increasing the permitted capacity of an existing site.
  • Entering permitting on a further fifteen 9.9 megawatt sites beginning in the first quarter of 2027.

Management Commentary

“Power is the constraint on artificial intelligence infrastructure right now, and it is going to stay the constraint,” said Jolie Kahn, Chief Executive Officer of FingerMotion. “Our objective is straightforward: to own permitted, behind-the-meter generation and the data halls that sit on it, and to contract that capacity on long-term take-or-pay terms before we spend construction dollars on any single site. We are communicating what we are building, what we own, and the order in which we intend to do it. The project companies sit under FingerMotion, and the value created in them sits with FingerMotion.”

Scope of the Business

FingerMotion’s Alberta program provides land, permits, the project vehicle, gas supply, generation, power to the rack, cooling, hall and white space, physical security and site operations. Customers provide their own graphics processing units, servers, network equipment, transport and platform software. The Company does not own, lease, finance or resell GPUs and is not a cloud provider; it does not sell compute, GPU-as-a-service or any managed artificial intelligence platform.
