Part II · The opportunity

Nepal’s surplus hydropower has the headroom that Global AI demand needs.

Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon are projected to spend approximately $700B in combined 2026 capex. Transformer lead times in the U.S. now run five years. Eleven gigawatts of announced capacity remains unbuilt.

Gemini Teo exists to relieve that bottleneck for enterprises whose workloads do not require sub-50-millisecond round-trip to North America. We route training runs, batch inference, disaster-recovery, archive, and back-office compute into vetted Tier III facilities in Nepal — where 2,456 MW of surplus hydropower is projected by FY 2025–26.


Part III · Segment focus

Who this is built for.

GT serves U.S., Germany, Japan, and Asia-Pacific enterprises, asset-heavy mid-market operators, and institutional buyers whose compute demand has crossed what their existing U.S. infrastructure posture can deliver on lead time, unit economics, or carbon intensity. The fit-pattern is consistent: a technical sponsor with a defined workload profile, a procurement function that writes under Virginia law, and an enterprise governance track record that can clear HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR review.

Regulated verticals

Healthcare · Financial services · Insurance

Workloads that need HIPAA BAA, PHI handling, FFIEC-aligned controls, or insurance-grade audit trails. Batch inference, claims analytics, actuarial modeling, model retraining, and archive are the highest-fit profiles.

AI-native operators

Model training and batch inference

Frontier and mid-scale training runs, embeddings generation, synthetic data production, evaluation suites, and batch inference clusters. Sub-50-ms real-time serving is out of scope; everything above that latency threshold is eligible.

Asset-heavy mid-market

Energy · Manufacturing · Logistics

Simulation, digital twin, supply-chain optimization, telemetry archive, predictive maintenance, and disaster recovery. Routed under Saturn Infra and Modeling placement with documented egress and failover pathways.

Carbon & ESG

The second line of savings.

ΔCO2e  =  4,380 MWh  ×  (0.37 − 0.02) kg/kWh  ≈  1,500 tonnes CO2e / year

The same placement that improves your compute economics also retires the carbon line of your largest compute program.

U.S. grid-average generation (~0.37 kgCO2e/kWh) versus run-of-river hydro (~0.02 lifecycle), illustrated at 0.5 MW routed. That Scope 2/3 reduction carries directly into CSRD-style climate disclosure, science-based-target accounting, and investor ESG reporting.

Renewable-attribution documentation for the hydro supply is available through the facility partner — supporting market-based Scope 2 claims and, where applicable, renewable-energy-certificate treatment. ~95% hydro supply, structurally, not by offset purchase.

Part IV · Precedent

U.S. enterprises have sourced technical labor and compute from Nepal for two decades.

The U.S.–Nepal technology corridor is not speculative. It is a mature, audited, regulated pathway already servicing the largest U.S. healthcare, analytics, AI, and fintech operators.

Cotiviti2004 · ~600 engineers · U.S. healthcare analytics
CloudFactory2010 · ~3,860 analysts · $78M funding
Leapfrog2010 · ~450 engineers
Deerwalk2009 · ~350 · Medicare work
Fusemachines2013 · ~500 professionals
LogPoint NepalSIEM · Cybersecurity

Nepal IT exports reached $515M in 2022 with 64% year-over-year growth. Domestic fintech processors F1Soft, eSewa, and Fonepay clear approximately $25B annually — a validation of Nepal's regulated payment and data infrastructure.

Part V · Structural advantage

Why the placement holds.

The thesis rests on four structural facts about the Nepal grid, the Tier III posture, and the regulatory perimeter — each independently observable, each surfacing inside the suitability memo we return to every prospective client.

Workload fit

Asynchronous enterprise compute

Admissibility is governed by latency class, not by price. AI training, batch inference, archive, disaster recovery, back-office, and simulation workloads route well; sub-100 ms consumer-facing serving stays on U.S. soil.

Scope 2

~95% hydropower grid

For sponsors with SEC, California (SB 253 / SB 261), or EU CSRD disclosure obligations, routed workloads produce a measurably cleaner Scope 2 footprint than the U.S. national grid average. Structurally insulated from gas-price volatility on the supply side.

Tier III posture

Concurrently maintainable · 99.982% target

Uptime Institute Tier III partner capacity. Redundant power and cooling paths, maintenance windows that do not require workload shutdown, operator within a DFI-backed corridor. Independent audit annual.

Capital & regulatory stack

IFC · SCB · FITTA · DIT

$29M IFC + Standard Chartered Bank Nepal anchor. FITTA 2019 foreign investment approval, DIT Directive 2081 listing, Companies Act 2063 incorporation, Nepal Rastra Bank foreign-exchange compliance — every flow papered through institutional channels.

Profile-specific net savings against the client's existing infrastructure baseline — hyperscaler, service provider, colocation, or on-premises — are produced only inside the engagement-specific suitability assessment. No cost stacks, input prices, or blanket savings figures are published on this website.

Partner-shared compute capacity — the primary line.

We are the institutional conduit — structuring the partner relationship, the client contract, the compliance envelope, and the workload placement — between U.S., Germany, Japan, and Asia-Pacific enterprise demand and Nepal Tier III supply. We do not lease rack space; we deliver completed compute capacity, the way major hyperscalers deliver underlying chip and data-center capacity to enterprises.

Tier III. Uptime Institute Tier III indicates a concurrently maintainable site infrastructure — every capacity component and distribution path can be removed from service without impacting the IT load. Target availability 99.982%, redundant power and cooling paths, and maintenance windows that do not require workload shutdown.

What we route

The work — the compute classes we place.

Saturn Infra routes specific workload classes that tolerate inter-region latency, asynchronous results, and overnight scheduling. Real-time consumer-facing serving stays on U.S. soil. Below is what is actually placed and how each class is handled.

AI model training

Multi-day GPU jobs

Fine-tuning runs and gradient accumulation across nodes (8–512 H100 / A100 typical). Tolerates 60–250 ms inter-region latency. Egress only at checkpoint cadence (every 4–24h). No real-time inference dependency. Routed under documented checkpoint-restart playbook with cross-region redundancy.

Batch inference at scale

Async scoring

Embedding generation for vector indices, document classification, claims adjudication scoring, vision and OCR pipelines. Asynchronous ingestion. Results returned per SLA window (typical: 4h, 24h, weekly). Watermarked for auditability; per-batch reconciliation with the U.S.-side source of truth.

Archive & long-tail retention

Compliance vaulting

HIPAA 6-year clinical retention, SOX 7-year financial retention, GDPR-aligned data-subject record retention. Immutable WORM storage with geographic separation from production. Quarterly retrieval drill. Encryption at rest under client-held KMS where required.

Disaster recovery

Warm-standby compute

Documented Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) per client runbook. Quarterly failover drill with attested results. DR posture audited annually as part of SOC 2 Type II.

Back-office & internal analytics

Routine non-customer-facing compute

Finance close, regulatory reporting, ETL, BI cubes, internal data warehousing — the workload that consumes most enterprise core. Asynchronous and tolerant of overnight scheduling. Routes under documented egress model with quarterly placement review.

Simulation & scientific compute

Stochastic and parallel workloads

Monte Carlo simulation, stochastic risk models, agent-based simulation, scientific HPC. Predictable batch profile with restart-tolerance. Frequently parallelizable. Routes well to Nepal hydropower infrastructure with no real-time dependency.

Client disclosure policy

Active U.S., Germany, Japan, and Asia-Pacific client identities are not published. Engagements are governed by reciprocal non-disclosure agreements with the offshore partner consortium and, in most cases, by explicit client confidentiality preferences. Named references are available under mutual NDA during advanced-stage diligence.

Book of business — defensible ranges

As an institutional-posture disclosure, Saturn Infra's book of business is reported in defensible ranges rather than single-point figures. Current posture: 4–7 workloads under executed MSA; 40–55% anchor capacity committed, representing approximately 1.4–1.9 MW placed load; 10–16 workloads in suitability assessment; 3–5 MW in weighted near-term pipeline. Ranges are refreshed on a quarterly cadence and narrowed during engagement-specific diligence.

Capacity · present and forward

Built by Gemini Teo. Operated by Saturn Infra.

Gemini Teo LLC is the development and capital-structuring vehicle for new Nepal data center capacity. Saturn Infra and Modeling Pvt. Ltd. is the in-country operator and commercial counterparty to U.S., Germany, Japan, and Asia-Pacific enterprise clients. This separation preserves U.S. tax, contract, and arbitration posture while placing operating responsibility inside Nepal's regulatory perimeter.

The commercial thesis is to grow from partner-shared capacity through anchor-tenant development to owned Tier III capacity — matching client demand growth and regional capital market maturity.

Present · 2026

3.5 MW anchor · 520 racks

Tier III certified partner capacity in the Kathmandu corridor. 95% hydropower grid. Operator in Nepal's DFI-backed data corridor. Capacity reserved for placed U.S., Germany, Japan, and Asia-Pacific enterprise workloads under multi-year anchor commitments. Operated by Saturn Infra under master services agreement.

Phase 2 · 2027–2029

13 MW pilot build

First purpose-built facility developed by GT with blended capital from Foreign Direct Investment, IFC, and DFC channels, plus anchor-tenant pre-commitments. Tier III target. Operated by Saturn Infra as commercial counterparty.

Phase 3 · 2029+

100 MW Saturn-owned

Tier III campus with senior debt from Standard Chartered and Nabil Bank. Developed by GT. Owned and operated by Saturn Infra. Multi-tenant anchor structure targeted at AI training, batch inference, and disaster recovery.

Phase 4 · 2035+

1–3 GW scale

Multi-gigawatt regional campus footprint. Institutional co-investment. Sovereign and development-finance participation anticipated. Transmission and grid interconnection structured under the Nepal Electricity Authority framework.

Forward-capacity figures reflect commercial intent based on demonstrated pipeline and regulatory posture. Build sequencing is subject to anchor-tenant commitments, capital formation, and regulatory approvals.

Architecture

One contract envelope. Two jurisdictions. A documented routing stack.

Every workload Gemini Teo places traverses a deliberately boring contract, technical, and compliance stack — proven components, single points of accountability at each hop, a paper trail that satisfies procurement and security on the U.S. side and Companies Act / FITTA / DIT / NRB review on the Nepal side.

  1. Enterprise ingress.Client-owned networks, private endpoints, or carrier-neutral meet-me points in U.S. hyperscale regions.
  2. MSA · DPA envelope.Virginia-law MSA; HIPAA BAA or GDPR SCCs where applicable; Nepal-side DPA under Privacy Act 2075 / Data Protection Act 2082.
  3. GT routing layer.Identity, routing policy, workload suitability check, egress accounting.
  4. Transit.Redundant carrier paths via Mumbai, Singapore, Hong Kong — 99.9%+ availability target.
  5. Audit.Monthly operational, quarterly compliance, annual independent security audit.

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., Germany, 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., Germany, 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.

Precedent

Hydropower, not hydrocarbons.

Every workload routed through Saturn Infra runs on a Nepal grid that is 95% hydropower. This is not a marketing posture. It is the structural basis on which the entire infrastructure thesis rests.

95%

Hydropower share

Of Nepal's installed generation mix. A fundamentally low-carbon grid — orders of magnitude cleaner than the U.S. national grid average.

2,456 MW

Projected surplus

Nepal hydropower surplus projected by FY 2025–26. This is the headroom that makes compute placement viable at scale.

3,878 MW

Installed capacity

Nepal Electricity Authority figure, 2026. Continues to grow with Upper Tamakoshi, Arun III, and other run-of-river installations.

The carbon argument

U.S. AI compute is overwhelmingly fossil-powered. Nepal's isn't.

Roughly 60% of U.S. electricity in 2025 came from fossil generation. Hyperscale data center expansion in the U.S. has materially slowed the retirement of coal and gas plants, and has accelerated the interconnection of new natural-gas capacity to meet AI demand.

Placing enterprise compute work on a 95% hydropower grid — whose marginal unit is hydroelectric, not natural gas — produces a compute-carbon profile that institutional ESG frameworks can actually underwrite.


For enterprises with Scope 2 and Scope 3 disclosure obligations, Nepal-routed compute is not a workaround. It is the answer.
Community

The technology-corridor compact.

Gemini Teo's presence in Nepal is predicated on building the institutional capacity of the local engineering and compliance workforce. Saturn Infra anchors the enterprise demand and the talent pipeline. The firm commits to annual transparency reports, long-tenured staff retention programs, and local-lawyer reviewed engagement documentation.

The compact extends beyond headcount. We commit to cross-border knowledge transfer: engineering, compliance, and procurement methods used at U.S. institutional scale are transferred to Nepal staff through documented training, paired delivery, and quarterly technical review. Graduates of the program are portable — credentialed to operate at the standard of any U.S. or European enterprise counterparty.

Environmental responsibility is not a marketing layer. The ~95% hydropower mix of the Nepal grid is the structural input to the Scope 2 story; PUE 1.32–1.38 at partner Tier III sites is the structural input to the direct energy story; adiabatic cooling and water-stewardship design are the structural inputs to the water-use story. Each input is independently verifiable in the partner's certification artifacts and in the Nepal Electricity Authority record.

Governance of the compact is two-sided. The U.S. parent accepts institutional accountability to its clients under Virginia law and U.S. regulatory review. The Nepal subsidiaries accept operational accountability to their employees, partners, and regulators under Companies Act 2063, FITTA 2019, DIT Directive 2081, NRB foreign-exchange rules, Privacy Act 2075, and Data Protection Act 2082. Neither side is asked to carry the other's obligations; both are documented.

Carbon & ESG

The energy line, dissected.

Compute has become a line item boards actually read. This page shows what a compute program draws, what that costs on a fossil-heavy grid, and how routing to Nepal restructures both — with the certificates that make the change bankable in your disclosures.

Part I · Consumption

What one megawatt actually draws.

1 MW IT load  ×  8,760 h  =  8,760 MWh / year
×  PUE ~1.5 — US fleet average  ≈  13.1 GWh drawn from the grid
×  ~$0.09 / kWh blended US tariff  ≈  $1.2M / year energy line
×  0.37 kgCO2e / kWh  ≈  4,900 tonnes CO2e / year

Every megawatt on a fossil-heavy grid is a seven-figure energy line and a five-thousand-tonne carbon line. Neither is fixed.

Illustrative at full utilization. Tariffs from EIA commercial / industrial averages; PUE from the Uptime Institute global survey; grid carbon factor from EPA eGRID (US average, ~0.37 kgCO2e/kWh). Your figures scale with utilization and tariff — the structure does not change.

Part II · The hydro route

The same megawatt, on a 95% hydropower grid.

Nepal’s grid runs ~95% hydropower — the marginal unit behind a routed workload is hydroelectric, not natural gas. Under the GHG Protocol’s market-based Scope 2 method, the carbon factor falls from ~0.37 to ~0.02 lifecycle kgCO2e/kWh — a ~95% reduction in the carbon line, structural, not offset-purchased.

The energy line is restructured the same way: multi-year, hydropower-anchored economics insulated from fossil-fuel volatility — the exposure that has repriced U.S. and EU power contracts three times this decade.


We do not publish blanket savings. The exact economics — your tariff, your utilization, your placement mix — are returned in the two-page suitability memo.

Part III · The certificate stack

The certificates that hold value in your boardroom.

Attribution documentation is delivered with the placement — documented, verified, renewal-managed — not left to the client to assemble.

01

GHG Protocol Scope 2 — market-based

The accounting method your auditors and investors already accept. Hydropower attribution slots directly into it; no novel methodology to defend.

02

I-REC attribution certificates

Renewable-energy attribute certificates for the hydro supply, secured through the facility partner with an audit-grade chain of custody.

03

SBTi progress

A ~95% Scope 2 reduction on routed compute is decisive, measurable progress against a validated science-based target — the metric institutional investors track.

04

CDP disclosure

Grid-sourced renewable supply — structural, not offset-purchased — strengthens the climate scoring your enterprise customers increasingly screen against.

05

CSRD / ESRS E1

EU-linked enterprises report market-based Scope 2 by mandate. Documentation arrives assurance-ready, mapped to the E1 climate standard.

06

Independent assurance

Annual third-party verification through the facility partner, aligned to ISO 14064 — the paper trail that survives an audit committee.

Put your energy line in the memo.

Your tariff, your utilization, your carbon position — dissected the same way, returned in the suitability assessment.
