Bitfarms Ltd. (Nasdaq/TSX: BITF), a global Bitcoin vertically
integrated company, secured an additional 100 MW at its Yguazu site
through an amendment to the existing 100 MW Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA) with the Paraguay state-owned utility, ANDE. This
amendment doubles capacity at this site to 200 MW with scheduled
deployment for 2025. This sustainable hydropower will be provided
at a contractual low cost of approximately 3.9 cents per kWh,
before VAT, with the added benefit of not being subject to annual
inflationary adjustments.
Construction at Yguazu began in March with the
signed purchase agreements for major long-lead equipment and
significant contracts, including the engineering procurement and
construction contract for the high-voltage interconnection to the
ANDE substation and transmission line. Changes to construction
plans and equipment orders to accommodate the incremental 100 MW
are already underway.
“The additional 100 MW provides a low-cost
growth path for the first half of 2025 without impacting our 2024
21 EH/s target which remains on schedule,” said Ben Gagnon, Chief
Mining Officer. “Growing Yguazu to 200 MW is expected to increase
our 2025 megawatts under management by 23% from 428 MW to 528 MW.
Importantly this expansion takes advantage of our existing
construction plan, amortizing development costs over a broader
infrastructure base and driving down overall costs per
megawatt.”
Damian Polla, General Manager of LATAM, stated,
“Building upon our construction progress at our existing sites and
track record in the country, this addition allows us to take
advantage of the cost efficiencies and rapid construction timelines
we have experienced in Paraguay. In addition, these megawatts were
secured directly though ANDE with no direct acquisition costs.
Overall, Paraguay represents our greatest growth opportunity with
270 MW of infrastructure expansion from our new Paso Pe and Yguazu
farms.”
