Active Energy Group plc (LSE:AEG) has signed a strategic distribution agreement with Fog Hashing Pte. Ltd., a provider of modular digital infrastructure for high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI) and digital asset hosting, as it looks to accelerate the rollout of its digital infrastructure platform across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
The agreement grants Active Energy distribution rights throughout the GCC and creates a framework for a potentially broader exclusive partnership, subject to agreed commercial milestones and future definitive agreements.
The company said the partnership strengthens its ability to deploy digital infrastructure across sites connected to ultra-low-cost power sources in the UAE and wider GCC, supporting its strategy of building a regional compute and hosting platform.
Faster Deployment Across Growing Site Portfolio
Active Energy expects the arrangement to improve access to modular infrastructure, technical expertise, deployment support and more favourable purchasing terms as it expands its network of power-connected locations.
Management believes the enhanced supply chain will shorten the time required to move from securing grid-connected sites to deploying operational infrastructure capable of generating revenue through hosting agreements and strategic compute partnerships.
As the company scales across multiple GCC locations, directors said rapid deployment capabilities will become increasingly important to support growth.
Standardised Infrastructure Model
A key feature of the partnership is the development of a more standardised infrastructure platform across Active Energy’s portfolio.
The company expects the modular approach to make it easier to relocate equipment between sites, helping support customer migrations, optimise capacity utilisation and accelerate commercial launches.
According to the board, this flexibility could improve both capital efficiency and operational performance as the business expands throughout the region.
Supporting Future AI and HPC Demand
While the company’s current focus includes digital asset hosting, the agreement also aligns with its longer-term ambitions in AI and high-performance computing infrastructure.
Fog Hashing’s modular systems are designed to accommodate evolving computing requirements, allowing upgrades through next-generation modules rather than major redevelopment of existing facilities.
Active Energy believes this approach will help future-proof its infrastructure platform and position the business to benefit from rising demand for AI and HPC capacity across the GCC.
The company said the combination of strategically located power-connected sites and flexible modular infrastructure provides a foundation for long-term growth as demand for compute resources continues to increase globally.
Strengthening Existing Growth Initiatives
The partnership also supports Active Energy’s broader expansion plans and complements previously announced strategic initiatives.
Management said the agreement enhances the company’s ability to support larger-scale deployment opportunities and reinforces the infrastructure strategy underpinning its non-binding Letter of Intent with Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ:BTDR), announced in April 2026.
While the Bitdeer agreement remains subject to due diligence and final commercial terms, the company views relationships with infrastructure providers such as Fog Hashing as an important element in building a scalable regional platform.
Commenting on the agreement, Chief Executive Officer Paul Elliott said: “This is more than a supply agreement. As we continue to build a regional digital infrastructure platform, the ability to rapidly deploy, redeploy and upgrade infrastructure becomes increasingly important.
Our strategy is centred around securing ultra-low cost power-connected sites and overlaying scalable digital infrastructure capable of generating long-term recurring revenues.
Through this Agreement, we gain enhanced access to technology, expertise and commercial terms that we believe will accelerate deployment across our portfolio.
Importantly, the modular nature of the Fog Hashing platform supports both current hosting applications and future AI and HPC opportunities.
We believe this provides significant operational flexibility and strengthens our ability to participate in some of the fastest-growing segments of the global digital infrastructure market.
Combined with our existing UAE operations, recent acquisitions and strategic partnerships, this agreement represents another important step in establishing AEG as a recognised digital infrastructure platform across the GCC.”
