Talen Energy 瞄準資料中心開發商，遠離加密貨幣挖礦

紐約（路透社）—隨著獨立電力公司尋求擺脫其加密貨幣挖礦業務，Talen Energy 專注於捕捉資料中心開發人員不斷增長的需求

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Independent power company Talen Energy is pivoting away from its crypto mining operation and focusing on capturing surging demand from data center developers, company executives said on a conference call on Tuesday.

紐約（路透社）—獨立電力公司 Talen Energy 高層在周二的電話會議上表示，該公司正在擺脫其加密貨幣採礦業務，專注於滿足資料中心開發商不斷增長的需求。

Talen is among a group of U.S. electric companies benefiting from the power needs of artificial intelligence and cloud computing data centers, with shares of the company rising nearly 100% since the start of the year.

Talen是受人工智慧和雲端運算資料中心電力需求的一群美國電力公司之一，該公司股價自年初以來上漲了近100%。

Reuters reported this month that Talen was in a process to sell its bitcoin mining center at the site of a Pennsylvania nuclear power plant

路透社本月報道稱，Talen 正在出售其位於賓州核電廠所在地的比特幣挖礦中心

“It’s not a strategic asset for us and we are looking at what are the other alternatives with respect to coin,” Talen Energy Chief Executive Officer Mark McFarland said on a second-quarter earnings call.

「這對我們來說不是戰略資產，我們正在研究代幣的其他替代品，」塔倫能源執行長馬克麥克法蘭在第二季財報電話會議上表示。

Talen raised its earnings and free cash flow forecasts for the year as it benefits from higher power use and prices, bigger payments from the regional grid operator PJM and a payout for a data center sold to Amazon earlier this year.

Talen 上調了今年的盈利和自由現金流預測，因為該公司受益於更高的用電量和價格、地區電網營運商 PJM 的更多付款以及今年早些時候出售給亞馬遜的數據中心的付款。
