Laos 40MW Digital Infrastructure Project (Key Case)

Future Energy’s shareholder-company experience includes a licensed 40 MW digital-infrastructure facility in Laos.

Lao Crypto Mining received a pilot cryptocurrency-mining licence in January 2022, began construction of a US$4 million, 40 MW load facility the following month and entered operation in October 2022. The facility reports approximately 11,300 Bitmain S19j Pro and L7 units, peak computing capacity of 1.5 EH/s and peak monthly production of 90 BTC.

The project reports more than US$40 million in cumulative foreign-exchange value generated for the national utility. For an Alberta gas counterparty, the most relevant point is operating maturity: the shareholder group has experience maintaining high-load-factor electrical demand, managing cooling and airflow, scheduling equipment maintenance, monitoring uptime and coordinating with a power supplier.

Future Energy also has approximately 20 MW of BTC and computing-load capacity available for the current launch program through existing equipment and contractual arrangements. This gives the generation project an immediate, controllable demand base capable of staged integration and operation.

DEMAND CREDIBILITY

Vertex does not need to learn continuous-load operations or find its first power customer after a gas contract is signed. The team, equipment and initial demand are already aligned; once the project is approved, connected and supplied, the gas molecule can begin generating cash flow for both parties.
