FingerMotion (NASDAQ: FNGR) announced that it has initiated discussions with prospective offtake clients for capacity at Brooks Campus #1, a 9.9-megawatt behind-the-meter power and compute site in Alberta, Canada. The company is offering two potential commercial structures through its relationship with BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc.: powered land, under which clients provide their own modular data halls, and colocation, under which BlueFlare develops data-hall capacity with power, cooling and supporting infrastructure. Under both arrangements, clients would supply and own their computing equipment.
Powered land capacity is expected to become available in early 2027, although no definitive offtake agreements have been announced. Brooks Campus #1 is the first site in FingerMotion’s planned 99-megawatt Alberta program, which comprises 10 sites across the Brooks, Coronation, Fox Creek and Vulcan areas. The company continues to advance permitting and solicit expressions of interest, with a strategy of securing long-term capacity contracts before committing construction capital to individual sites. The campus is designed to operate adjacent to existing natural gas infrastructure, potentially avoiding the need for a new grid interconnection.
This development matters because it signals FingerMotion’s expansion beyond its core mobile payment and recharge business in China into the energy-intensive compute infrastructure sector. As demand for data processing and high-performance computing grows, securing reliable power and compute capacity has become a strategic priority for technology firms. By pursuing a behind-the-meter model that leverages existing natural gas infrastructure, FingerMotion aims to reduce reliance on grid interconnection, which can be time-consuming and costly. The phased, contract-first approach may also mitigate financial risk by aligning construction with secured offtake agreements.
For investors, the announcement highlights a potential new revenue stream and diversification strategy. The success of Brooks Campus #1 could pave the way for the remaining nine sites in the Alberta program, creating a scalable platform. However, the absence of definitive agreements means execution risk remains. The company’s ability to attract offtake clients and deliver powered land by early 2027 will be key milestones to watch.
FingerMotion’s core business continues to grow, with its mobile payment and recharge platform solutions in China. The company envisions developing an ecosystem of highly engaged users and eventually serving over 1 billion users in the China market, with potential expansion to other regions. The Alberta compute initiative represents a complementary venture that could leverage the company’s technology expertise while tapping into the growing demand for digital infrastructure.
