Power Agreement
The agreement reached with Hydro-Sherbrooke will allow Keel to consolidate the power from three of its current Bitcoin mining sites into one 96 MW campus. The Company did not request any additional power, which maximizes the use of current electrical infrastructure and allows the project to move forward in line with Québec’s current energy priorities. Keel also received approval to recategorize the use of its 96 MW from BTC mining to HPC/AI.
