FingerMotion Negotiates Alberta 600 kW AI Compute Site with BlueFlare Energy
FNGR•FingerMotion and BlueFlare Energy are negotiating commercial terms for a 600 kW Alberta behind-the-meter site to convert flare gas-powered Bitcoin mining into an AI inference facility with on-site generation, battery storage and HPC capacity managed by BlueFlare's BALA platform. Discussions remain preliminary with no binding term sheet agreed.
1. Project Background
FingerMotion and BlueFlare Energy entered a memorandum of understanding to develop two behind-the-meter AI inference and co-located Bitcoin mining sites in Western Canada. The MOU outlines collaboration on site origination, design, engineering, construction and ongoing operations.
2. Site Details and Technology
The first site, a 600 kW facility in Alberta, currently uses on-site natural gas that would otherwise be flared for Bitcoin mining. BlueFlare’s plan redevelops the site into an AI inference center with new power generation, battery energy storage and HPC capacity while retaining mining load for real-time power balancing via the proprietary BALA platform.
3. Development Process and Timeline
Because the facility generates power on-site and connects to AI workloads via a wireless link, it avoids grid interconnection and fiber construction delays. Backup power uses cleaner-burning propane instead of diesel, and the design targets accelerated energization once commercial terms are finalized.
4. Risks and Next Steps
Discussions are advanced but non-binding, with no commercial term sheet or definitive agreement yet executed. There is no guarantee the site will be developed as proposed or on the contemplated terms, and negotiations will determine site-level economics, capacity, schedule and operations.
