Mining company Bitfarms moves the power of the data center de la Pointe to a remote area of Quebec from settlements.

Bitfarms, which specializes in bitcoin mining, reported, that it acquired a plot of land for a production site remote from settlements in the Quebec region to accommodate the Garlock mining farm with a capacity of 18 MW. The new data center is designed to replace the capacity of the de la Pointe mining farm.

Bitfarms President Jeff Morphy (Geoff Morphy) stated, что строительство нового датацентра позволит использовать мощности гидроэлектростанции:

«После запуска общая запланированная мощность трех наших ферм Sherbrooke, в том числе Leger и The Bunker, будет полностью использовать предусмотренную контрактом энергию Hydro-Sherbrooke объемом 96 MW ".

Новый объект, оснащенный «последними технологиями шумоподавления и мониторинга», will be located far from populated areas. Previously, Bitfarms was criticized by residents of the town of Sherbrooke in the province of Quebec, living near the de la Pointe mining facility. The criticism did not subside even after, how the company took measures to reduce the noise level from the operation of mining equipment.

Total investment size, which Bitfarms invests in the new object, It is about 2.25 Mill of Canadian dollars ($1 760 000) and 25 000 warrants to purchase common shares, which will allow their holders to purchase Bitfarms shares at a set price.

In November, Canadian mining company Bitfarms reported, plans to launch a mining center in the US state of Washington. Energy to power equipment must come from renewable sources. A little earlier, after an official request from Argentine legislators, Bitfarms provided detailed information about the mining center being built in Cordoba with the capacity 210 MW. In April, Bitfarms signed a contract with an electricity supplier in Argentina to consume up to 210 MW of electricity.
