The i-team in ABC News studied this private company's data center map and found that there are at least 4,302 data center projects across the U.S. Large and small. Of those, 3,038 are currently operational with another 1,203 either under construction or plan for construction. 61 have acquired land. In Illinois, there are 164 operating data centers with another 81 planned for construction. The largest state project plan is in Yorkville. It would be 2 gigawatts and according to the ABC7 data team would use the same energy that would power approximately 1.7 million homes more than every home in the city of Chicago.”

30 and thriving! 🌻🌻🌻 We've achieved the incredible milestone of 30 EH/s in operational #hashrate, a 200% increase since October 2023, through significant organic growth paired with turn-key acquisitions and the execution of a fleet upgrade. Our efficiency was improved during the same period by nearly 20% and we boosted the number of operational machines by 112%. This has allowed us to increase computing power and produce more #bitcoin while consuming less energy and allowing for more hashrate to be generated with fewer machines. We expect to surpass 37 EH/s before the end of 2024 and intend to continue our growth to 50 EH/s and beyond in 2025. Additional hashrate is anticipated to come online due to the expected acquisition closing of GRIID this month. CleanSpark is one of the largest owned-and-operated publicly traded bitcoin miners in North America and has a portfolio of sites located in Georgia, Mississippi, Wyoming and Tennessee. "Reaching 30 EH/s positions us as one of the largest bitcoin miners in the world. We have added more operational hashrate than any other miner in 2024. The results we continue to deliver demonstrate our commitment and ability to scale rapidly and with capital efficiency," said Zach Bradford, $CLSK CEO. "Our team's agility, effectiveness and relentless grit has been paramount to the success of CleanSpark. Our efforts to time the market and lock in industry-best pricing on rigs and sites positioned us to take advantage of the opportunities in the market. During this period of rapid expansion of our operations, we have also grown our bitcoin treasury to over 8,049 bitcoin. Since October 2021, we have significantly increased our computing power year over year by quadrupling in 2022, nearly doubling in 2023 and tripling our hashrate in 2024." Press release here:

Our acquisition of three Mississippi #Bitcoin mining data centers is complete and initial operations have already begun, boosting $CLSK's operating #hashrate to over 15 EH/s. In nearby Georgia, we have invested over $700 million into energy infrastructure, miners, buildings, and job creation, while contributing tens of millions of dollars to communities in the form of taxes and local margins on #energy bills. We expect to bring the same level of care and attention to Mississippi that we are known for in Georgia. “Expanding into a new state is an important milestone for our company and we are looking forward to partnering with the communities we are joining. By maximizing the grid services capabilities of bitcoin miners, we aim to create jobs and foster economic growth that benefits both our new neighbors and our shareholders. Our investment in Mississippi is one more step in the direction of the shared prosperity that Bitcoin promises.” -CEO Zach Bradford Full release:

In the next 15 years, data centers are expected to add an additional $160 billion to grid costs in the US Estimate say electricity rates for average households will spike by as much as 70% Data centers are projected to triple their share of US electricity demand in the next few years The main driver is the explosive growth of data centers built by Big Tech companies like Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and more to power artificial intelligence Places like Northern Virginia already has over 200 data centers with massive new ones planned. Utilities are striking secret proprietary deals with Big Tech companies. These are hidden behind NDAs that shift much of the infrastructure costs onto regular residential customers Just in the PJM energy market of 13 states covering 65 million people, data centers were responsible for 63% of last year’s record 800% spike in capacity prices (This is INSANE) Residential customers in places like Virginia and Louisiana are being forced to subsidize billions in new power plants and grid upgrades for data centers. An Examples of this is in Louisiana, Meta’s data center deal leaves the public potentially on the hook for half or more of a $3–4 billion power plant Again, without major policy changes, average household electricity bills could rise by up to 70% over the next 15 years due to data center demand. There is only one real way we can stop this, we must create a separate customer class for data centers Maryland and Oregon have already passed laws doing this Forces data centers to pay for the specific infrastructure they need instead of spreading the costs to everyone else. More states need to do the same Ban secret sweetheart deals Require full public disclosure of all contracts between utilities and Big Tech Prohibit deals where data centers pay below the actual cost of service Make data centers pay the full cost of new power plants and grid upgrades Change regulations so utilities cannot socialize the cost of data-center-driven infrastructure to residential and small business ratepayers This needs to be done immediately
