CleanSpark Breaks Ground on 50 Megawatt Bitcoin Mining Expansion
Friday, January 20th, 2023
CleanSpark Inc., announced today that it has started construction on the second phase of one of its newest sites in Washington, Georgia. The Company acquired this campus in August of 2022 as part of its recent bear-market growth campaign. Upon completion, the new phase, which is expected to employ only the newest generation of bitcoin mining machines, will add up to 2.2 exahashes per second (EH/s) of computing power to the Company’s mining capacity.
The mining machine fleet at the new phase will consist of Antminer S19j Pro and Antminer S19 XP models, the newest and most power-efficient models of bitcoin mining machines available today. Depending on the final number of each model in the mix, the total computing power that will be added to CleanSpark’s bitcoin mining capacity will range from 1.6 EH/s to 2.2 EH/s - a 25% to 34% increase from its current hashrate of 6.5 EH/s.
“When we purchased the Washington site in August, we were confident about our ability to quickly expand, adding this 50MW to the existing 36MW of infrastructure,” said Zach Bradford, Chief Executive Officer. “This second phase more than doubles the size of the existing operation. We are looking forward to expanding our relationship with the Washington City community and to be able to support the construction jobs that will come with this expansion.”
