These developments include its Cowansville site renovation, which will increase installed power at the site from 4 MW to 17 MW. The expansion will be equipped with 3000 new MicroBT miners and is expected to be ready in July 2021.

The company has also ordered materials, transformers and electrical equipment to develop a new 66 MW mining site in Sherbrooke.

Combined with the Cowansville expansion, a total of 79 MW of new mining infrastructure powered by green hydro power will be operational in 2021.

On April 23, the company installed 496 MicroBT M31S+ miners and increased its operating hashrate to 1.42 EH/s, the largest currently reported in North America by a public company.

The company is on track to achieve over 1.7 EH/s during the summer of 2021.

Bitfarms is one of the largest, oldest and most cost-effective public Bitcoin mining operations in the world. It has a diversified production platform with five industrial-scale facilities in Québec.
