AgriFORCE Launches Bitcoin Mining Site in Alberta, Aiming for 1 EH/s Expansion
AgriFORCE Growing Systems (AGRI) has launched its first bitcoin mining site in Berwyn, Alberta, utilizing stranded natural gas to power 120 mining machines.
- The facility delivers over 32 petahashes per second (PH/s) of compute power with a current draw of 425 kW.
- A planned second phase will increase capacity by an additional 200 kW.
- BlueFlare Energy developed the site, implementing systems for emissions monitoring and carbon tracking.
- Using flared gas for bitcoin mining helps mitigate energy costs amid industry margin pressures.
- This initiative is part of AgriFORCE's strategy to mine bitcoin, build modular infrastructure, and monetize energy directly.
- A binding agreement with BlueFlare will expand operations to two more sites in Alberta, potentially adding 1.3 MW of compute power.
- AgriFORCE has mined seven BTC at its Alberta and Ohio locations and plans to retain up to half of its holdings for operational growth.
- The goal is to reach 1 exahash per second (EH/s) of compute capacity by Q1 2026.
