Tesla’s 3.8 megawatt solar PV array and 12 megawatt-hour Megapack will power the facility, according to the latest reports.
It’s been also reported that Blockstream co-founder and CEO Adam Back, who is also a British cryptographer and a member of the “cypherpunk” crew, told CNBC on the sidelines of the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami that the mining facility is designed to be a proof of concept for 100% renewable energy bitcoin mining at scale.
“People like to debate about the different factors to do with bitcoin mining. We figured, let’s just prove it. Have an open dashboard so people can play along, maybe it can inform other players to participate,” Back said.
