Sangha Renewables Begins Construction on $42M Bitcoin Mining Project in Texas
Sangha Renewables, a bitcoin mining firm focused on renewable energy integration, has begun construction on a 19.9 MW solar facility in West Texas.
- The project aims to allow renewable energy companies to mine bitcoin efficiently.
- Spencer Marr, president of Sangha, emphasized the early investment in electrical infrastructure to expedite mining operations.
- The approach targets renewable projects that face production and demand mismatches, enabling them to profit from excess electricity by switching to bitcoin mining rather than selling at a loss.
- The facility is expected to generate $42 million in revenue within the first year and produce approximately 900 bitcoin over ten years.
- Electricity costs for the project will range from 2.8 to 3.2 cents per kilowatt-hour, providing a significant discount on bitcoin acquisition.
- Construction is projected to finish by late July, with mining commencing shortly after.
- Sangha has raised $14 million towards its $17 million equity round target, securing 82% so far.
- By fall, the company anticipates utilizing smart contract technology to distribute returns to investors in bitcoin.
