The additional power is contracted at a low cost of approximately 3.9 cents per kWh and is not subject to annual inflationary adjustments. Construction at Yguazu began in March, with significant contracts signed, including those for major long-lead equipment and the high-voltage interconnection to the ANDE substation and transmission line. Bitfarms' Chief Mining Officer, Ben Gagnon, stated that this expansion aligns with the company's growth path and will not impact the 2024 target of 21 EH/s. The company's growth in Paraguay, including the new Paso Pe and Yguazu farms, represents a total of 270 MW of infrastructure expansion. Bitfarms operates 11 Bitcoin mining facilities with two under development across Canada, the United States, Paraguay, and Argentina, focusing on environmentally friendly hydro-electric power and sustainable energy infrastructure.
