BitCluster, a Russian bitcoin mining solutions provider, has launched a 120 MW data center in Ethiopia. This facility is strategically located in Addis Ababa, near the Kilinto high-voltage substation, and is designed to leverage Ethiopia's abundant renewable energy sources, primarily hydroelectric power from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. The data center aims to provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for bitcoin mining, with a focus on reducing the environmental footprint of the process.
Key features of the data center include:
  1. Capacity: 120 MW, with the ability to accommodate 34 Antminer S19 Pro devices, generating a total hash rate of 6.8 EH/s, which is approximately 1.2% of the total network hash rate[3][4].
  2. Sustainability: The facility is powered entirely by renewable energy from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, ensuring a minimal environmental impact[3][4].
  3. Location: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which offers a favorable climate and infrastructure for large-scale mining operations[3][4].
  4. Uptime: The data center is expected to have an uptime of 99%, ensuring continuous mining operations[4].
  5. Economic Impact: The project is expected to significantly contribute to Ethiopia's economy, with potential annual GDP injections of $2 to $4 billion[3].
  6. Partnerships: BitCluster has announced strategic partnerships with other companies, such as DeMi, a tokenized mining platform, to further enhance the capabilities of the data center[5].
Overall, BitCluster's data center in Ethiopia marks a significant milestone in the global bitcoin mining landscape, showcasing the potential of sustainable and efficient mining operations in the region.
