• A 48-megawatt, 300,000-square-foot nuclear Bitcoin mining center has been completed in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania.
• The center is owned and operated by Talen Energy, an independent power producer, and its subsidiary Cumulus Data.
• The center is expected to offer zero-carbon Bitcoin mining with the aim of reducing carbon emissions and providing sustainable electricity to its customers.
A revolutionary new nuclear Bitcoin mining center has just been completed in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. This center, owned and operated by Talen Energy, an independent power producer, and its subsidiary Cumulus Data, is set to revolutionize the way Bitcoin mining is done. Spanning 300,000 square feet, the center is capable of producing 48 megawatts of energy and is expected to open up to the market this year.
The center is built next to the Susquehanna power plant and is expected to offer zero-carbon Bitcoin mining with the aim of reducing carbon emissions and providing sustainable electricity to its customers. Talen Energy’s CEO, Alex Hernandez, spoke about the data center and its underlying plans to tackle some of the existing limitations in crypto mining. Hernandez said that the center will open up to the market this year, with part of its mission including the reduction of carbon emissions and provision of sustainable electricity for its customer base.
The center is also expected to house Bitcoin mining-related activities and cloud computing activities once operations kick-off. Talen Energy has also been affiliated with the Cryptocurrency mining company TeraWulf, and in 2021, the two companies announced a zero-carbon mining joint enterprise. The enterprise, named Nautilus Cryptomine, was made to develop as much as 300 megawatts of zero-carbon Bitcoin mining capacity.
At this time, the center is still undergoing testing and is expected to open to the public sometime this year. Once the center is fully operational, it is expected to provide a safe and efficient way for miners to extract Bitcoin and other digital currencies. With the help of Talen Energy and its zero-carbon mining methods, the center is also expected to be beneficial to the environment by reducing carbon emissions and providing sustainable electricity to its customers.
While the completion of the Susquehanna data center is good news for the Bitcoin mining industry, it is also an exciting prospect for the environment. With Talen Energy’s zero-carbon mining methods and its efforts to reduce carbon emissions, the center is sure to make a positive contribution to both the industry and the environment.
