Nuclear-Powered Crypto-Mining To Begin In Pennsylvania Next Year

by Tyler Durden Thursday, Jul 15, 2021 - 08:20 PM Amid the heated debate over Bitcoin s environmental impact in the mining space, nuclear power could be the perfect renewable energy source to power mining operations. It s no secret that bitcoin mining takes a massive amount of electricity. It s estimated that energy consumption exceeds the power consumption of countries like the Netherlands and the UAE.  With the push towards ESG-Friendly bitcoin mining operations, US power company Talen Energy has been given the green light to mine cryptocurrencies using nuclear power from Susquehanna Steam Electric Station based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, according to Datacenter Dynamics.   A spokesperson for Talen said Cumulus, a subsidiary of Talen Energy, has two separate businesses: Cumulus Data, focused on hyperscale data center; and Cumulus Coin, focused on digital currency mining.

Data Center Dynamics today reported that Talen Energy plans to establish a nuclear-powered mining operation and data center that will have up to 300MW of on-site power when it s finished, sometime after 2Q 2022. The mining operation and data center will be built next to the company s Susquehanna Steam Electric Station in Pennsylvania, according to the report, and Talen Energy could eventually triple its capacity to 1GW of on-site power. The facility s power capacity would grow in stages. It s expected to have 164MW of capacity supported by dual 1+GW nuclear units and two independent substations when the first phase of development is complete, Data Center Dynamics reported.
