FingerMotion Inc. (NASDAQ: FNGR) 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 announcement, made through the company's relationship with BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc., marks the first commercial step in a planned 99-megawatt Alberta program that could reshape the region's data infrastructure landscape.
Under the proposed arrangements, FingerMotion is offering two potential commercial structures: powered land, where clients provide their own modular data halls, and colocation, where BlueFlare develops data-hall capacity with power, cooling, and supporting infrastructure. In both cases, clients would supply and own their computing equipment. Powered land capacity is expected to become available in early 2027, though no definitive offtake agreements have been announced.
Brooks Campus #1 is the first of 10 planned sites across the Brooks, Coronation, Fox Creek, and Vulcan areas, together comprising a 99-megawatt program. 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—a key advantage as power availability becomes a bottleneck for data center development across North America.
For readers in Vancouver and across British Columbia, the development signals growing investment in Western Canada's digital infrastructure. While the sites are in Alberta, the program could stimulate demand for related services, from construction and engineering to technology talent, with potential spillover effects for the broader region. The behind-the-meter model, which uses on-site power generation rather than relying on the provincial grid, could also serve as a template for similar projects in B.C., where grid capacity constraints are a concern.
FingerMotion, primarily known for its mobile payment and recharge platform solutions in China, is expanding into the energy and compute space. The company's vision includes growing its user base and developing an ecosystem of high-engagement applications, with eventual aspirations to serve over 1 billion users in the China market and expand to other regions. This Alberta initiative represents a diversification into infrastructure that supports the growing demand for computing power.
