TGI Solar and TGI AMIRON Finish Preliminary Design for 51.7-Hectare AI Data Center Campus in Aktau SEZ

TGI Solar Power Group Inc. (OTCID:TSPG) and TGI AMIRON Corp., its joint venture subsidiary with Kazakhstan's AMIRON, disclosed on November 9, 2026 that preliminary architectural and engineering design has been completed for a planned AI data center campus in the Special Economic Zone Aktau Seaport, located in Kazakhstan's Mangystau Region.

The release was issued jointly from Miami, Florida, and Astana, Kazakhstan, and positions the campus as the leading element of the two companies' AI and digital infrastructure program on the U.S.-Kazakhstan Technology Corridor.

How the Site Is Laid Out

The design package addresses a 51.7-hectare plot in Subzone No. 2 of the Aktau Seaport SEZ. According to the companies, the layout combines liquid-cooled modular data centers with an administrative and operations center, warehousing, and an energy microgrid. The first units deployed on the campus are expected to be AXIPOD™ modular data centers, part of the AXIOMAXUS™ technology brand, both trademarks of TGI AMIRON Corp.

Power Planning: 200 MW First, 500 MW in View

On the electrical side, the design establishes an initial target of 200 MW, with a pathway sketched out toward 500 MW. The companies were careful to stress that both numbers remain planning targets and do not represent secured capacity. Under the base case, electricity would come from on-site gas-fired generation paired with battery energy storage systems (BESS). Small modular reactors (SMRs) appear in the plan only as a long-term option and are excluded from the initial phases.

Fiscal Terms Under the SEZ Regime

TGI AMIRON holds registered participant status in the SEZ. That status carries a package of incentives: 0% corporate income tax on priority activities, 0% land and property tax, and duty-free import of equipment. The release cautions that these benefits depend on applicable law, eligibility requirements and the duration of the SEZ itself.

Digital Core and Edge Nodes Along the Corridor

The Kazakhstan entity of TGI AMIRON is intended to house the Digital Core of the TGI group, described as a single platform spanning enterprise resource planning, data, integration, analytics, AI and security.

A reference architecture has already been defined, with implementation to proceed in phases, conditional on campus readiness and applicable cross-border data rules. Ports and logistics hubs along the Middle Corridor are slated to serve as edge nodes, built to operate independently and synchronize with the Core whenever connectivity allows.

The AI layer, built on the AXIOMAXUS™ platform, is intended to analyze cross-border trade, maintenance and logistics events. Certain actions — payments, customs filings and safety-critical operations, will require human approval before execution. Security and AI governance design follows three standards: ISO/IEC 27001 for information security, IEC 62443 for industrial control system security and ISO/IEC 42001 for AI management systems.

R&D and Milestones Ahead

Research and development, currently at design stage, focuses on analytics and computer vision applied to industrial and logistics monitoring. Advancing to Phase 1 hinges on several conditions: securing power supply, obtaining permits and land approvals, arranging financing and bringing in technology and commercial partners. Both companies said they plan to report progress against these milestones as the project moves forward.

Voices From the Companies

"Electric power is now the main constraint on AI infrastructure worldwide," said Academician Bakhtay Sekerbayev, scientific advisor to TGI AMIRON. "At the same time, demand is shifting from training models to running them for users, and that requires compute close to where data is produced. A central platform in Aktau, linked to edge nodes along the trade corridor, is designed around both of these realities."

"With preliminary design complete, our focus is securing power, permits and partners for Phase 1," said Daniel Brody, Chief Information Officer of TGI Group. "We will report progress against those milestones as the project advances."

Who Is Behind the Project

TGI Solar Power Group Inc. (OTCID:TSPG) is a diversified international holding company investing in sustainable energy, infrastructure, digital ecosystems and new technologies. Its subsidiary TGI AMIRON Corp., a joint venture with AMIRON of Kazakhstan, develops sovereign digital infrastructure, modular AI data center campuses and cross-border trade technology in Central Asia and international markets.
