By April 1, the Company intends to deploy additional miners in conjunction with a 7.5 MW mining capacity lease in North Dakota. Greenidge also signed Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management contracts in North Dakota and Texas, which are expected to increase revenue in a growing business line for Greenidge.
Greenidge CEO Jordan Kovler commented: “By expanding our self-mining capabilities in key territories, Greenidge will be able to continue increasing our mining load flexibility and optimizing our operations to supercharge growth.
