Canada-based BlueFlare is a developer of behind-the-meter energy and HPC infrastructure
Summary
The initial site, located in Alberta, will be a 600kW behind-the-meter facility, a redevelopment of a site currently in use for Bitcoin mining and powered by on-site generation using flared gas. The redeveloped site will be a dedicated AI inference facility with new on-site power generation, battery energy storage, and high-performance compute (HPC) capacity. FingerMotion said power allocation between the two workloads would be managed by BlueFlare via its adaptive load architecture platform. With on-site generation and BlueFlare’s load architecture and connectivity, FingerMotion hopes to bring the site online without waiting for grid interconnection or fiber connection.
