Recent Company History
In the past six months, ROMA announced a share repurchase program of up to US$100.0 million effective Mar 30, 2026, yet the stock fell 31.27% over the next day, showing a divergence between ostensibly supportive capital-allocation news and price action. Today’s AI/HPC infrastructure investment LOI marks a strategic shift toward powered land and compute infrastructure, contrasting with the prior focus on capital returns.
Key Terms
behind-the-meter, high-performance computing, distributed compute infrastructure, data-center, +3 more
7 terms
behind-the-metertechnical
"BlueFlare is an Alberta-based developer of behind-the-meter (“BTM”) power generation..."
Equipment or systems located on a customer’s side of the electricity meter—such as rooftop solar panels, battery storage, electric vehicle chargers, or energy controls—that generate, store, or manage power for use on-site rather than being supplied through the utility’s grid. Investors care because behind-the-meter assets change how much power a customer buys, can create new revenue or savings streams, affect demand patterns, and shift regulatory or business models in the energy market, much like a homeowner installing their own water tank reduces municipal supply needs.
high-performance computingtechnical
"a previously announced 10 MW high-performance computing site for AVAX One..."
A cluster of very powerful computers, special chips and fast networks designed to tackle huge, complex calculations far faster than a normal PC — like replacing a single delivery van with a synchronized fleet to move a city’s worth of packages. For investors, high-performance computing matters because it enables faster product development, more accurate simulations and data analysis, and new revenue streams for hardware, software and services, making firms that supply or use it potentially more competitive and scalable.
distributed compute infrastructuretechnical
"developer of behind-the-meter (“BTM”) power generation and distributed compute infrastructure."
A distributed compute infrastructure is a system that runs computing work across many machines or locations instead of relying on a single server — like a team of kitchen helpers each handling different orders so the restaurant stays fast and steady. For investors, it matters because it lets a business scale capacity, reduce downtime and latency, and control costs more flexibly, all of which influence revenue growth, profit margins and operational risk.
data-centertechnical
"segment of a Data-Center Buildout Forecast to Exceed US$3 Trillion This Decade"
A data-center is a secure, climate-controlled facility that houses the computers, network gear and power systems that store and process large amounts of digital information. For investors, data-centers matter because they are the backbone of cloud services, online businesses and critical applications—think of them as a modern warehouse or power plant for digital activity—so their capacity, reliability and cost structure directly affect revenue, growth potential and capital spending for companies that own or use them.
letter of intentfinancial
"entered into a non-binding letter of intent to subscribe for a 5% equity interest..."
A letter of intent is a document that shows an agreement in principle between parties to work towards a future deal or transaction. It outlines their intentions and key terms, acting like a roadmap before a formal contract is signed. For investors, it signals serious interest and helps clarify expectations early in the process.
natural gas generationtechnical
"designs, builds, and manages on-site natural gas generation paired with high-density computing facilities"
Electricity produced by burning natural gas in power plants or by using gas-driven turbines; think of it like a home stove or car engine scaled up to run generators that feed the electric grid. Investors watch it because it links power company profits and utility bills to natural gas prices, plant operating costs, and environmental rules—so shifts in fuel cost, demand for electricity, or emissions policy can directly affect revenues and valuations.
distributed data centerstechnical
"develop a portfolio of micro-scale, distributed data centers, each below 10 MW"
Distributed data centers are multiple physical facilities in different locations that jointly store and process a company’s computing and data needs, working together like one system. For investors, they matter because spreading computing power geographically increases reliability, keeps services fast for local users, helps meet local data rules, and reduces the risk that one outage or disaster will halt operations—factors that influence costs, growth potential and business resilience.
Cornerstone equity investment is ROMA’s first under its newly established behind-the-meter AI/HPC infrastructure vertical; BlueFlare Group Holdings Inc. is the parent of BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc., whose pipeline includes a previously announced 10 MW high-performance computing site for AVAX One and a roadmap of micro-scale (<10 MW) distributed data centers across Western Canada.
ROMA, Hong Kong, and CALGARY, Alberta, Canada, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ROMA Green Finance Limited (Nasdaq: ROMA) (“ROMA” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to subscribe for a 5% equity interest in BlueFlare Group Holdings Inc. (“BlueFlare” or the “BlueFlare Group”) for total consideration of US$15 million. BlueFlare Group Holdings Inc. is the parent company and sole owner of BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc. (“BFE Solutions”) and its affiliated operating subsidiaries. The proposed investment is the first under the dedicated AI/HPC infrastructure investment vertical that ROMA established on June 12, 2026, and represents the Company’s first direct equity position in a behind-the-meter compute infrastructure platform. ROMA’s capital would be subscribed at the BlueFlare Group holding-company level and, on closing, will contribute to BFE Solutions, the group’s principal operating subsidiary, to fund its buildout. The proposed investment is non-binding and remains subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence and the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements; there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed on the terms described, or at all.
ROMA’s investment is timed to accelerating demand for AI/HPC capacity. Independent industry forecasts project that global data-center power capacity could roughly double to approximately 200 gigawatts by 2030 and that cumulative investment in data-center infrastructure could exceed US$3 trillion over the coming decade. ROMA believes the most acute constraint in this buildout is not demand but available power and time-to-energization — particularly in the sub-10 megawatt segment that BlueFlare targets and that conventional, grid-dependent development underserves.
BlueFlare is an Alberta-based developer of behind-the-meter (“BTM”) power generation and distributed compute infrastructure. The company designs, builds, and manages on-site natural gas generation paired with high-density computing facilities, enabling AI and HPC workloads to be energized on timelines that grid-connected projects cannot match. BlueFlare operates through its subsidiaries BFE Solutions, BFE Resources, and BFE Equipment. Its leadership team includes Chief Executive Officer Landon Ruszkowski, Chief Financial Officer Walter Mello, Chief Technology Officer Noah Cramer, and Vice President of Operations Pierce McWilliams.
ROMA’s capital is intended to support BlueFlare’s project pipeline. BlueFlare has a previously announced contract — currently pending finalization of definitive agreements — to develop a 10 MW HPC site for AVAX One Technology. BlueFlare also plans to develop a portfolio of micro-scale, distributed data centers, each below 10 MW, sited at or near stranded and underutilized natural gas resources across Western Canada.
The transaction advances ROMA’s stated strategy of allocating capital toward powered land, behind-the-meter generation, and high-density compute assets positioned to serve accelerating AI/HPC demand.
“This is a disciplined, picks-and-shovels investment in the infrastructure layer of the AI era,” said Claire Luk, CEO of ROMA Green Finance Limited. “Compute is constrained by power and by time-to-energization, not by demand. BlueFlare’s behind-the-meter model attacks both constraints at once, and a US$15 million cornerstone stake gives ROMA direct, scalable exposure to the underserved sub-10 megawatt segment. We see this as the foundation of a deliberate AI/HPC infrastructure strategy.”
“ROMA’s commitment validates the model we have built and accelerates our buildout,” said Landon Ruszkowski, Chief Executive Officer of BlueFlare Group Holdings Inc. “With this capital behind us, we can advance our pending 10 MW project for AVAX One and expand our pipeline of micro-scale, distributed data centers. Behind-the-meter generation is how compute gets powered when the grid cannot keep up, and we are positioned to deliver it.”
ROMA intends to provide further detail regarding the transaction and its broader AI/HPC infrastructure strategy in subsequent disclosures.
