People interested in investing in cryptocurrency may be interested in a new project that is combining renewable energy and bitcoin mining.

有興趣投資加密貨幣的人可能對一個將可再生能源和比特幣採礦相結合的新項目感興趣。

As reported by CoinDesk on July 12, Spencer Marr, president of startup Sangha Renewables, said in an interview that his firm is close to launching a wind farm project in West Texas that will also be used for bitcoin mining.

正如Coindesk在7月12日報導的那樣，Startup Sangha Renewables總裁Spencer Marr在接受采訪時說，他的公司即將在西得克薩斯州開設一項風電場項目，該項目也將用於比特幣採礦。

The project, which began in November 2021 and is being developed in partnership with CSD Energy, will see 100 megawatts (MW) of wind turbines generate electricity for a subsidiary of Sangha Renewables, which in turn will deploy 25,000 advanced integrated circuits (ASICs) to mine bitcoin.

該項目始於2021年11月，並與CSD Energy合作開發，將看到100兆瓦（MW）的風力渦輪機為Sangha Renewables的子公司發電，而Sangha Renewables的子公司又將部署25,000個高級綜合電路（ASASICS）來開採比特幣。

“We have been extremely pleased with the development so far,” Marr said.

馬爾說：“到目前為止，我們對這一發展感到非常滿意。”

“We made the decision to use our own funds to buy long lead time electrical infrastructure last November, even prior to the deal closing, to ensure we could be mining as soon as possible, and that has paid off.”

“我們決定使用自己的資金去年11月，甚至在交易結案之前，以確保我們可以盡快開採，並獲得了回報。”

“We also have a great team of partners and suppliers, including CSD Energy, EcoDigital, Moonshot Electrical, Fusion Industries, Greenhash and Pro Mining Solutions that have all pitched in to make this a success,” Marr added.

Marr補充說：“我們還擁有一支偉大的合作夥伴和供應商團隊，包括CSD Energy，Ecodigital，Moonshot Electrical，Fusion Industries，Greenhash和Pro Mining Solutions，這些解決方案都促使您取得成功。”

Most mining companies focus on acquiring mining rigs and seeking the cheapest electricity contracts possible to produce bitcoin, but Sangha’s approach is different: to convince large renewable energy companies to incorporate bitcoin mining into their own business models.

大多數礦業公司專注於購買採礦鑽機並尋求生產比特幣的最便宜的電力合同，但是Sangha的方法不同：說服大型可再生能源公司將比特幣採礦納入其自己的商業模式。

The pitch is simple. Green energy projects often suffer from a mismatch in production and demand. A wind farm, for example, may generate a lot of electricity on a windy night — right when everyone is asleep and consumption is lowest. Instead of selling that surplus electricity at a loss, the affected company could switch on bitcoin mining machines and turn a profit.

音高很簡單。綠色能源項目經常遭受生產和需求不匹配的困擾。例如，一個風電場可能會在大風的夜晚產生大量電力 - 就每個人都睡著並且消費最低時。該受影響的公司無需損失盈餘電力，而是可以打開比特幣礦業機並賺錢。

The startup applied for permits for the project in 2020 and began construction in November 2. The project is expected to generate $42 million in revenue in the first 12 months and mine roughly 900 bitcoin over the next 10 years. It will have access to electricity for anywhere between 2.8 cents and 3.2 cents per kilowatt-hour on a 30-year lease, meaning that investors will be able to acquire bitcoin at a 25% to 50% discount.

該初創公司於2020年申請了該項目的許可證，並於11月2日開始建設。該項目預計將在最初的12個月內產生4200萬美元的收入，並在未來10年內大約是900個比特幣。 30年的租約，它將可以使用2.8美分至3.2美分的每千瓦時2.8美分至3.2美分的任何地方，這意味著投資者將能夠以25％至50％的折扣以25％至50％的折扣收購比特幣。

Construction is projected to close in the second half of July, though unforeseen events may push that back a month. Bitcoin mining should begin soon as construction is complete.

施工預計將於7月下半年關閉，儘管不可預見的事件可能會推遲一個月。比特幣採礦應在建設完成後立即開始。

“We expect to commission the project over the summer and use that time to iron out any initial kinks,” Marr said. “We purposely ordered 2% more ASICs than we needed to give us a margin of error for faulty machines.”

馬爾說：“我們希望在整個夏季進行委託該項目，並利用這段時間來消除任何最初的糾結。” “我們故意訂購的ASIC比我們需要給我們的錯誤機器的錯誤餘地多2％。”

With $14 million raised so far through equity — partially thanks to Plural Energy, which enables mid-sized renewable energy projects to raise funds from investors on-chain — Sangha has secured 82% of its $17 million equity round target for the West Texas project.

到目前為止，通過股權籌集了1400萬美元 - 部分歸功於復數能源，這使中型可再生能源項目能夠從投資者的鏈上籌集資金 - Sangha已為西德克薩斯州項目獲得了其1700萬美元的股票循環目標的82％。

“By the fall, we expect to be a well-oiled machine and to be utilizing Plural Energy’s smart contract capabilities to stream distributions to our equity investors, who are excited by the idea of receiving distributions natively in bitcoin,” Marr said.

馬爾說：“到秋天，我們希望成為一台油膩的機器，並利用複數能源的智能合同能力將分配流向我們的股票投資者，他們對在比特幣中本來進行分配的想法感到興奮。”
