MARA Acquires Wind Farm
- Site features 240 MW of interconnection capacity, with 114 MW of operational wind generation to sustainably power data center
- Site will be the first application of MARA's Advanced ASIC Retirement Initiative, designed to extend the economic lives of miners
- 該站點具有240兆瓦的互連能力,其中114兆瓦的運行風力發電可可持續爲數據中心供電
- 該站點將是MARA先進ASIC養老計劃的首個應用,旨在延長礦工的經濟壽命
Fort Lauderdale, FL, Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MARA (NASDAQ: MARA) ("MARA" or the "Company"), a global leader in leveraging digital asset compute to support the energy transformation, today announced entering into a definitive agreement to acquire a wind farm in Hansford County, Texas, with 240 MW of interconnection capacity and 114 MW of nameplate wind capacity. This acquisition represents a major step forward in MARA's objectives to convert underutilized sustainable resources into economic value, achieve near-zero energy cost, and enable broader renewable energy deployment.
2024年12月3日佛羅里達州勞德代爾堡(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)- marathon digital (納斯達克: MARA)("MARA"或"公司"),作爲全球數字資產計算的領先者,將進入能源轉型領域,今天宣佈達成一項明確協議,收購德克薩斯州漢斯福德縣的一個風電場,擁有240兆瓦的互聯容量和114兆瓦的銘牌風電容量。這次收購是MARA實現將未充分利用的可持續資源轉化爲經濟價值,實現接近零能源成本,促進更廣泛的可再生能源部署的重要一步。
MARA will develop and operate a behind-the-meter data center powered entirely by the site's 114 MW of wind capacity at zero-marginal energy cost. By operating a data center at this site, MARA expects to take wind demand off the grid – alleviating grid congestion, enabling renewable energy development, and building local power demand.
MARA將開發並運營一個由該站點114兆瓦風力容量完全供電的後電錶數據中心,能源成本爲零邊際。通過在該站點運營數據中心,MARA希望從電網中抽取風力需求,緩解電網擁堵,促進可再生能源發展,培育本地電力需求。
"This acquisition serves as a blueprint for how the energy and data center sectors can collaborate to create long-term value while advancing sustainability initiatives," said Fred Thiel, MARA's Chairman and CEO. "By repurposing machines and energizing them with 100% renewable, zero-marginal energy cost, we're leveraging renewable resources that would have otherwise been curtailed, reducing our bitcoin production costs through vertical integration, and demonstrating MARA's commitment to environmental stewardship."
"這次收購可以作爲能源和idc概念部門如何合作,創造長期價值並推進可持續發展倡議的藍圖," MARA的董事長兼首席執行官弗雷德·蒂爾說。"通過重新利用機器並將它們激活爲100%可再生能源,零邊際能源成本,我們正在利用本應被切斷的可再生資源,通過垂直整合降低我們的比特幣生產成本,展示MARA對環境保護的承諾。"
The site will utilize last-generation ASIC mining hardware that would have otherwise been written off or sold into the secondary market. MARA's approach, called the Advanced ASIC Retirement Initiative, creates a more sustainable and capital-efficient alternative to discarding retired machines, providing an avenue for the hardware to continue operating profitably beyond their normal lifecycle, utilizing wind power that would otherwise have been curtailed.
該網站將使用上一代的ASIC採礦硬件,否則這些硬件將被報廢或出售到二級市場。MARA的做法,即高級ASIC退休計劃,爲報廢的機器提供了一種更可持續且資本高效的替代方案,爲這些硬件提供了賺錢超越正常生命週期的途徑,利用本應被切斷的風力發電。
"The program is expected to not only extend the life of the miners beyond their previous economic lives with zero-marginal energy cost, but also enhance MARA's return on capital employed while reducing our operating costs and mitigating shareholder dilution," said MARA's Chief Financial Officer, Salman Khan.
"該計劃預計不僅將礦工的壽命延長到超出之前的經濟壽命,並實現零邊際能源成本,還將增強MARA的資本回報率,同時減少我們的營運成本並減少股東稀釋," MARA的首席財務官薩爾曼·汗說。
The wind farm joins a growing global fleet of renewably powered data centers owned and operated by MARA, and will play an integral role in furthering the Company's commitment to sustainability. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close by the first quarter of 2025.
這座風力發電場加入了MARA擁有和運營的全球再生能源數據中心不斷增長的艦隊,並將在進一步促進公司可持續承諾方面發揮重要作用。本交易將受到慣例的收盤條件的約束,包括監管批准,並預計將於2025年第一季度完成交割。
