KALiNA’s One-Off Power Sale Raises Questions on Future Growth

A Major Transaction in Alberta’s Power Market

KALiNA Power Limited’s Canadian subsidiary, KALiNA Distributed Power (KDP), has announced the successful transfer and sale of allocated megawatts (MWs) to a global data centre developer. This transaction follows the execution of a demand transmission services agreement with the Alberta Electrical System Operator (AESO), which was the final condition required to close the deal. The transfer agreement represents a one-off sale of power capacity originally allocated to KDP under AESO’s interim large load connection process.

Financial Upside and Contractual Details

Earlier this year, KDP received a non-refundable deposit of CAD 1 million, and with the recent execution of the transmission agreement, it is now entitled to an additional CAD 17 million bonus, payable within 15 days. This brings the total consideration from the sale to CAD 18 million, a significant inflow for the company. Importantly, the agreement does not establish any ongoing corporate relationship between KDP and the customer, underscoring the transaction’s nature as a discrete asset transfer rather than a long-term partnership.

Strategic Positioning in Alberta’s Energy Landscape

KDP’s portfolio comprises five natural gas-fired power projects strategically located near key infrastructure such as gas pipelines and grid access points in Alberta. These projects are designed to provide behind-the-meter power solutions tailored for data centres, a sector with rapidly growing energy demands. The company also plans to integrate carbon capture and sequestration technologies in the future, aligning with broader environmental goals. With a potential build-out capacity of approximately 1.7 gigawatts, KDP is positioning itself as a significant player in Alberta’s evolving energy market.

Looking Ahead

While the identity of the customer remains confidential due to a non-disclosure agreement, the transaction validates KDP’s business model and its ability to monetize allocated power capacity. The company has indicated that further updates will be provided in the coming weeks, which investors will watch closely for indications of future project developments or additional contracts.
