About

Building compute where energy gathers

Accretion Compute is an Ion Group company. We are building AI capacity at the source of energy, and we are at the start of that work.

The name

Why "Accretion"

In astrophysics, accretion is how matter gathers around a source of gravity, forming a disk that becomes one of the brightest things in the universe.

That is the idea behind the company: compute gathers around a source of energy. Our mark is drawn from an accretion disk.

Principles

How we work

01

Build at the source

We go where energy is produced, instead of waiting for it to be carried to us.

02

Say only what is true

We do not claim capacity, uptime or customers we do not have. When something is planned, we say so.

03

Think in decades

Long-term fuel, long-term leases and long-term partners. Our sites are built to last.

Ion Group

Two companies, one energy strategy

Ion Group puts stranded and underused energy to work. Each company uses the kind of energy that suits it best.

AI capacity on firm energy. Steady load for steady supply, on multi-year terms.

Where we are

Early, and open about it

  • Now: evaluating sites in Canada and the United States, and talking with AI companies, energy producers and landowners
  • Next: agreeing fuel and land for a first site, matched to a first tenant
  • Not yet: no capacity is built or available today
