Blockchain build 900MW wind farm in Morocco

Blockchain company Soluna's chief executive John Belizaire said in an interview that, Blockchain company Soluna plans to build a 900-megawatt wind farm to power a computing center in Dakhla in the Morocco-administered Western Sahara.

Estimated in June that bitcoin mining used approximately 71 terawatt hours (TWh) per year, equivalent to almost 10 percent of China’s annual energy usage. The project will cover 37,000 acres in one of the world’s windiest regions enabling the company to own sustainable energy resources along with a utility-scale blockchain computing facility.

Belizaire said the company will not make cryptocurrency transactions in Morocco where financial authorities have warned against the use of cryptocurrencies. The computer center will provide computing to blockchain networks offering calculation capacities to foreign entities in exchange for foreign currency, he said. Morocco has attracted investment in solar and wind power as part of a goal to generate 52 percent of its electricity from renewable energies.
