Bitfarms signs prepaid power contract at Rio Cuarto

BITFARMS LOCKS IN POWER COST AT 2.1 CENTS PER KWH FIXED RATE AT RIO CUARTO

Bitfarms Ltd. has entered into a prepaid contract with its Argentine private power producer to receive power at Rio Cuarto at the rate of 2.1 cents per kilowatt-hour plus VAT (value-added tax) for the months November, 2023, through April, 2024, which benefits from seasonally lower natural gas prices in Argentina.

"With Argentina currently contributing 23 per cent of our global hash rate, this six-month fixed-price agreement will significantly lower our blended cost of power," said Geoff Morphy, president and chief executive officer of Bitfarms. "By comparison, in Q3 2023, our all-in cost of power at Rio Cuarto was slightly over 3.2 cents per kilowatt-hour, and, in October, 2023, which was our first month operating that facility at full capacity, our all-in cost was 2.2 cents per kWh. Accordingly, with lower power costs at Rio Cuarto over the next six months, we expect the average cost of power at our Argentine operations in its first year to be around 2.5 cents per kilowatt-hour plus taxes, driving down our corporate average cost of power for the full year."
