Digihost’s 5.5-Megawatt Community Solar Project Reaches Commercial Operation
September 09 2024 - 5:00AM
Digihost Technology Inc. (“
Digihost” or the
“
Company”) (Nasdaq / TSXV: DGHI), an innovative
U.S. based blockchain technology and computer infrastructure
company, is excited to announce its key role as the anchor
commercial subscriber in Nautilus Solar Energy’s newly opened 5.5
MW community solar project in Grand Island, New York. This
groundbreaking initiative, which celebrated its official launch on
September 5th, 2024, is projected to bring clean, affordable
renewable energy to over 850 local residents and businesses.
The Grand Island community solar project,
located less than 15 miles from both of Digihost’s New York
facilities, is expected to generate 8.35 million kWh of clean
energy annually, providing a significant environmental impact by
offsetting nearly 6,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
This would be equivalent to the removal of 1,400 cars from the road
each year, helping New York State achieve its goal of sourcing 70%
of electricity from renewable resources by 2030.
“As a company deeply committed to reducing our
carbon footprint while advancing cutting-edge technologies, we are
thrilled to be the anchor subscriber for this community solar
project,” said Luke Marchiori, Chief Renewable Energy Officer of
Digihost Technology Inc. “This partnership and long-term commitment
reinforce our mission to integrate sustainable energy solutions
into our operations, not only benefiting our company, but also the
local community and the planet. We are proud to play a role in
advancing New York’s ambitious climate goals while contributing to
a cleaner, greener future.”
By subscribing to this solar project through
EnergyMark, who is responsible for managing the anchor
subscriber(s) of this project, Digihost will play a key role in
stabilizing the project; giving it a base of offtake for the solar
credits it generates and ensuring the project is able to operate
and produce renewable energy that supports the community. This
subscription also contributes to long-term cost savings and aligns
with Digihost’s DigiGreen Initiative, whereby Digihost is committed
to achieving net zero emissions from its BTC mining operations by
2030. In addition to nearly emission-free electricity at its East
Delavan facility, Digihost currently participates in several Demand
Response programs, which aid in grid reliability during times of
heightened demand, and further reduces carbon emissions.
Operations Update
Presently, Digihost’s consolidated operating
capacity across its three sites represents approximately 90MW of
available power, and Digihost is mining at hashrate of 2.75 EH/s.
The Company is currently exploring opportunities to build its
initial Tier 3 data center with a target completion date of end of
2025.
