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日佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)- marathon digital (纳斯达克: MARA)("MARA"或"公司"),作为全球数字资产计算的领先者,将进入能源转型领域,今天宣布达成一项明确协议,收购德克萨斯州汉斯福德县的一个风电场,拥有240兆瓦的互联容量和114兆瓦的铭牌风电容量。这次收购是MARA实现将未充分利用的可持续资源转化为经济价值,实现接近零能源成本,促进更广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将开发并运营一个由该站点114兆瓦风力容量完全供电的后电表数据中心,能源成本为零边际。通过在该站点运营数据中心,MARA希望从电网中抽取风力需求,缓解电网拥堵,促进可再生能源发展,培育本地电力需求。
"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."
"这次收购可以作为能源和idc概念部门如何合作,创造长期价值并推进可持续发展倡议的蓝图," MARA的董事长兼首席执行官弗雷德·蒂尔说。"通过重新利用机器并将它们激活为100%可再生能源,零边际能源成本,我们正在利用本应被切断的可再生资源,通过垂直整合降低我们的比特币生产成本,展示MARA对环境保护的承诺。"
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.
该网站将使用上一代的ASIC采矿硬件,否则这些硬件将被报废或出售到二级市场。MARA的做法,即高级ASIC退休计划,为报废的机器提供了一种更可持续且资本高效的替代方案,为这些硬件提供了赚钱超越正常生命周期的途径,利用本应被切断的风力发电。
"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.
"该计划预计不仅将矿工的寿命延长到超出之前的经济寿命,并实现零边际能源成本,还将增强MARA的资本回报率,同时减少我们的营运成本并减少股东稀释," MARA的首席财务官萨尔曼·汗说。
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.
这座风力发电场加入了MARA拥有和运营的全球再生能源数据中心不断增长的舰队,并将在进一步促进公司可持续承诺方面发挥重要作用。本交易将受到惯例的收盘条件的约束,包括监管批准,并预计将于2025年第一季度完成交割。
