What experience does NRG Bloom have in Bitcoin mining?
NRG Bloom utilized a network of hydro dams in Quebec (Canada) including the Manicouagan-Outardes complex, the Robert-Bourassa dam, the Churchill Falls dam, and the La Grande-2-A dam.
Our Bitcoin Mining Experience
NRG Bloom utilized a network of hydro dams in Quebec, Canada, to power a 500 kW bitcoin mining farm, achieving 3.8 PH/s of computational power and generating 0.7 bitcoin monthly. We enhanced the sustainability of the local energy grid by providing a reliable last-resort buyer during low demand periods using ASIC miners. The profitability and business model of these operations inspired us to deploy the same technology in rural areas of the world to sustain their development or renewable energy.
Our team members, Makir and Julie gained invaluable experience working in this Bitcoin mine, where they developed their expertise in maintaining and repairing ASIC miners. They also learned the intricacies and challenges of operating a mining farm. Today, they leverage this expertise to establish Bitcoin mining operations designed to create positive impacts on the African continent, focusing on sustainability, local economic growth, and renewable energy integration. Their dedication and knowledge ensure that our initiatives benefit both the environment and the communities involved.
