Cryptocurrency firm Avax One Technology has signed a front-end engineering and design (FEED) proposal for a 10MW off-grid, natural gas-powered AI and high-performance computing (HPC) data center at the 4-31 Battery site in Alberta, Canada. The FEED study will be led by BlueFlare Energy Solutions and will assess technical design, costs, and regulatory requirements ahead of a potential final investment decision. The work will be carried out by one of three pre-qualified engineering firms and will not require any upfront capital from Avax.
“This FEED engagement represents the first formal step in what we believe will become a landmark AI infrastructure project in Alberta,” said Landon Ruszkowski, CEO of BlueFlare.
“BlueFlare is committed to delivering engineering certainty and cost transparency before any significant capital is deployed — thus assuring efficacy in advance of building critical infrastructure of this scale.”
“Demand for AI and high-performance computing continues to accelerate, while access to power remains the primary bottleneck. Our approach is designed to bridge that gap by combining energy and compute in a modular, scalable format that allows us to move quickly, generate near-term revenue, and position Avax One for long-term participation in this growth cycle,” added Jolie Kahn, CEO of Avax.
