Gemini Facility
The Saturn-owned 13 MW pilot.
Gemini Teo is presently in active discussions with the Government of Nepal to secure a proprietary 13 MW Tier III facility on a dedicated site, with the parallel option to co-build with an established Nepal operator. The facility would operate as a Saturn Infra-owned and -operated asset, underwritten by a combination of anchor-tenant pre-commits, FDI approval under FITTA 2019, and senior debt from Nepal commercial banks supported by DFI participation.
The 13 MW proprietary pilot is designed to move Saturn Infra from a partner-capacity posture — placing U.S., Japan, and Asia-Pacific workloads into partner-operated Tier III capacity — to an owned-capacity posture on a controlled site. Site selection criteria include: power-line adjacency, 95%+ hydropower mix, redundant fiber, seismic profile acceptable to Uptime Institute Tier III certification, and water-availability for adiabatic cooling that targets PUE 1.32–1.38.
The Government of Nepal engagement track runs through the Department of Industry (FITTA 2019 foreign direct investment approval), the Department of Information Technology (Data Centre and Cloud Services Directive 2081, Feb 2025), the Investment Board of Nepal where capital thresholds apply, Nepal Rastra Bank (foreign exchange inflow and outflow), and the Office of the Company Registrar (Companies Act 2063 filings). Independent Nepal counsel and auditor sign-off is procured at every stage; no informal commitments are made.
In parallel, GT maintains a documented fallback. If the proprietary site track does not close on acceptable commercial terms, Saturn Infra continues to route U.S., Japan, and Asia-Pacific enterprise workloads into the partner-operated Tier III anchor capacity in the Kathmandu corridor — 3.5 MW, 520 racks, 95% hydropower, DFI-backed partner — under multi-year anchor commitments. The partner-capacity line stands on its own economics and is not contingent on the proprietary facility track.
This section exists so that principals reviewing GT understand two things simultaneously: (1) the upside case — a Saturn-owned 13 MW Tier III pilot inside a well-understood Government of Nepal regulatory corridor, sequenced ahead of the 100 MW Phase 3 build — and (2) the base case — a partner-operated anchor that is already serving routed workloads today. The two-track posture is structural, not aspirational.
