Company notes early demand interest across the coordinated program of ten 9.9 MW behind-the-meter sites and will continue to provide updates as the program is rolled out
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FingerMotion, Inc. (Nasdaq: FNGR) (“FingerMotion” or the “Company”) today announced that it has received indications of interest totaling approximately 52.5 megawatts of capacity within the 99 MW Alberta behind-the-meter power and compute program disclosed on September 15, 2026.
The program comprises ten 9.9 MW generation and data hall sites grouped into four campuses in the Brooks, Coronation, Fox Creek and Vulcan Zones, representing 99 megawatts of gross generation capacity in development and approximately 72 megawatts of aggregate continuous critical IT capacity. Each site is intended to be held in a dedicated project company of which FingerMotion is the sole shareholder. Development, construction and site operations are performed by BlueFlare Group Holdings Inc., which takes title to none of the project assets.
The indications of interest relate to capacity within the recently disclosed corridor and are consistent with the Company’s stated approach of seeking to contract capacity under long-term agreements before committing construction capital to any individual site. Indications of interest are not binding offtake agreements, do not constitute contracted demand, and do not guarantee that any customer contract will be executed on any particular terms or at all.
FingerMotion’s intended process remains to secure land with power, permit it, and contract capacity to offtake clients before initiating construction. Offtake clients may contract for a site as powered land on which they install their own modular data halls, as a colocation site, or as a turnkey facility. Each campus is sized below 10 MW to use the streamlined approval pathway for smaller power plants under Alberta Utilities Commission Rule 007, and each is to be held in its own subsidiary so that campuses can be permitted and contracted independently of one another.
“Power remains the scarce input for AI and high-performance computing,” said Jolie Kahn, Chief Executive Officer of FingerMotion. “Receiving indications of interest inside the 99 MW corridor so soon after we laid out the program is consistent with the demand we expected when we structured the sites as independently permitted, owner-operated campuses. We will continue to provide updates as we roll out the program—land, permits, contracting, and only then construction.”
We have provided a four-point matrix as a way for investors to measure our progress. We are pleased to provide an update from the original August 27, 2026 iteration.
