I saw this floating around the internet yesterday but forgot to share it. It's a pretty neat example of something most bitcoiners are familiar with: colocating compute with energy. So far I've mostly seen energy producers take advantage of their expertise to do this kind of thing, as in this case:
First announced by DCD in July 2021, the 1,200-acre campus draws power from Talen Energy’s neighboring 2.5GW nuclear power station in Luzerne County, the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES). The company broke ground in 2021 and completed the first 48MW, 300,000 square foot (28,870 sqm) hyperscale facility early last year, along with a separate cryptomine facility.Talen said AWS aims to develop a 960MW data center campus. The cloud company has minimum contractual power commitments that ramp up in 120MW increments over several years; AWS has a one-time option to cap commitments at 480MW. The cloud provider also has two 10-year extension options, tied to nuclear license renewals
I wonder if we'll see it happen in the other direction before long - compute people building city-scale power stations.
