To back up a bit here, we are a small mining operation in a municipal electric area in upstate NY. We want to grow, but we can't get any more power in the municipal area. We have been searching for large amounts of cheap power and are in discussions with a power plant that is offering 4MW of power. We have had several discussions with them on our requirements including today, they have promised us pricing per MW early next week.
The 4MW is more power than we can utilize at this point, and we are looking to see if there are others in the mining community who might be interested in our excess power. We understand its all based on the price per MW. We are reaching out on this forum to try and get a feel for what power costs miners would be interested in. We are hoping the price comes in around $0.05kWh / $50MW.
Is there any interest at these rates? We need to know how much of a load we may have for our discussions with the powerplant early next week. The power plant has stated that there will be costs associated with the buildout to us to step down the high voltage they generate at. They have suggested a surcharge or a slightly higher rate until they have recovered these costs. We would be responsible for all buildout costs including shipping containers to house the rigs. We would also be responsible for all costs for wiring, service panels, and other distribution costs.
Please let us know if you'd be interested in what we hope to be $0.05 kWh / $50 MW costs. The location of these facilities would be northcentral PA.
These rates would not include the charges for hosting others units or buildout.
We are open to providing hosting and the buildout for these units at reasonable costs.
I hope this helps clarify my previous posts.
Thanks, Frank
