Muroo Systems Signs Pre-Agreement with Turkmenistan Ministry of Energy on Distributed Computing Center Concept

## Muroo Systems Signs Pre-Agreement with Turkmenistan Ministry of Energy on Distributed Computing Center Concept

Muroo Systems (Headquarters: Nihonbashi-Honcho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Chung-Hsin Pan), has signed a non-binding Agreement on Non-Binding Key Terms with the Turkmenistan Ministry of Energy regarding basic conditions for power supply capacity and related infrastructure development for its distributed computing center initiative.

The agreement was signed during an international document signing ceremony held as part of the "White City Ashgabat 2026 International Expo & Conference." This agreement establishes a negotiation foundation for power supply to commercialize the distributed computing center concept in Turkmenistan.

### Overview of the Agreement

The agreement outlines the basic conditions for negotiations toward future formal contracts regarding the distributed computing center initiative and energy supply sector in Turkmenistan.

The two parties will focus discussions on the following items:

- Power supply conditions required for the distributed computing center concept
- Staged power supply capacity
- Related infrastructure development, including transmission and substation facilities
- Modernization of energy infrastructure
- Advancing infrastructure through digital technology
- Possibilities for future formal contracts and individual projects

This agreement is not legally binding and establishes the basic framework for discussions, serving as a premise for future formal contracts, individual agreements, or final settlement.

### Significance and Framework of the Agreement

For AI computing platforms, High-Performance Computing (HPC), cloud infrastructure, blockchain validation nodes, and next-generation computing infrastructure, continuous operation is often a prerequisite, making stable and large-capacity power supply a key common challenge.

Our company recognizes the importance of integrated planning for power supply, cooling technology, containerized computing infrastructure, and operational efficiency in our distributed computing center initiative. This pre-agreement builds a negotiation framework with the Turkmenistan government for securing the essential power supply foundation to materialize these concepts.

Future discussions based on this agreement will explore conditions such as staged power supply capacity, supply start dates, power source mix, grid connection, transmission and transformation equipment, permits, environmental compliance, funding, and technical design. The negotiation framework we envision includes a Pre-PPA approach, which organizes the basic conditions for power supply and project development toward the eventual signing of a formal Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

### Our Technological Foundation

We are actively engaged in developing technologies related to distributed computing centers and next-generation computing infrastructure.

We are advancing the development of containerized computing infrastructure technology and have acquired patents (Patent No. 7671564) and relevant utility model registrations (Registration No. 3255953) in Japan for cooling systems for containerized data centers. To address varying heat densities and operational requirements for different applications, we are proceeding with modular designs centered on containerized liquid cooling methods. We will continue to develop and internationally deploy next-generation computing infrastructure that emphasizes energy efficiency, cooling efficiency, and installation flexibility.

### Past Cooperation in Turkmenistan

We have been gradually advancing cooperation in computing infrastructure and the energy sector in Turkmenistan. This pre-agreement builds upon these existing cooperation frameworks to confirm and concretize the basic conditions for the power supply capacity and infrastructure development essential for the distributed computing center concept.

- April 15, 2025: Signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on strategic cooperation in the energy sector with the Turkmenistan Ministry of Energy during the "Japan-Turkmenistan Business Meeting" held at the Imperial Hotel Tokyo.
- Signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Turkmenistan Ministry of Communications regarding the establishment and development of a distributed computing center in the country, and have been continuously discussing cooperation possibilities in the field of computing infrastructure.

### Positioning of International Cooperation in Central Asia

This agreement is positioned as part of the international cooperation in computing infrastructure, energy, and nuclear sectors that we are promoting across the entire Central Asian region.

In September 2025, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, NUKEM Technologies Engineering Services GmbH (Headquarters: Karlstein, Germany; hereinafter "NUKEM"), we signed an MoU on a strategic partnership with the Kazakhstan Atomic Energy Agency in Astana.

Following this, during the first-ever Japan-Central Asia "5+1" Summit held in Tokyo in December 2025, we signed multiple cooperation MoUs and related contracts with organizations including the Kazakhstan National Nuclear Center (radioactive waste management), the Atomic Energy Agency (Uzatom) under the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan (peaceful use of nuclear energy), the Ministry of Digital Technologies of Uzbekistan and Uzatom (50MW-scale data center construction project utilizing SMR-derived electricity), and the Ministry of Energy/National Power Grid Company of the Kyrgyz Republic (Chon-Kemin river small hydroelectric power plant construction and power purchase agreement).

In these initiatives, NUKEM provides technical support such as nuclear safety, radioactive waste management, spent fuel measures, and decommissioning. This pre-agreement with Turkmenistan is an extension of this regional integration and further concretizes our Central Asia strategy that fuses energy and computing infrastructure.

### Future Outlook

We will continue to promote international cooperation in computing infrastructure, energy, nuclear-related fields, and next-generation computing infrastructure in the Central Asian region, including Turkmenistan. Through discussions with government agencies and relevant institutions, we will advance initiatives that contribute to sustainable infrastructure modernization, stable power supply, and the development of the digital economy.
