Alabama site buildout
Digihost is pleased to announce that it has commenced construction and the development of the facilities buildout in Alabama. The company is building out the necessary infrastructure with the goal of bringing the property to a hashing capacity of 28 megawatts by the end of the third quarter of 2022 and a total of 55 MW by the end of the first quarter of 2023.
In support of its infrastructure expansion the company will transfer a portion of its existing mining fleet from New York State to the site in Alabama to allow Digihost to benefit from the lower direct energy costs it has negotiated with Alabama Power, which will lead to an overall reduction in Digihost's operating costs.
Green energy
Since inception, Digihost's strategic growth sustainability plan has been the accessing of clean sources of energy while also being agreeable to on-demand programs with its utility providers that allow the company to provide urgent power needs for local communities during extreme weather conditions. The company is pleased to report that during July, 2022, Digihost ran its BTC mining operation primarily at off-peak hours in support of the energy needs of the surrounding neighbourhoods with over 90 per cent of the energy consumed by its operations derived from sources that create zero-carbon emissions.
Additionally, during the month of the July, CPower Energy Management was selected as a Top Project of the Year winner by the elite Environment and Energy Leader Awards Program for its program with Digihost. CPower is a natural energy solutions provider and works in concert with the company to reduce its environmental impact through demand response. Digihost is rewarded on a quarterly basis for making its site's electrical load available to help balance the grid when called upon, supporting the broader sustainability commitments of net-zero emissions from electricity consumption by 2030 and 100-per-cent-renewable-powered blockchains.
