Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Beau Turner, the CEO and co-founder of Abundant Mines, joins us to talk about Pacific Northwest Bitcoin mining. Oregon and Washington have some of America’s lowest power rates thanks to abundant hydropower, but there’s less mining in the region than you might think. Beau explains the barriers keeping hashrate from the PNW, 9.9MW capacity limits, Oregon’s burgeoning curtailment programs, AI competition for power, and how early miners “poisoned the well” in 2018.
**Notes:**
• Oregon industrial power: 6-8¢/kWh
• Pacific NW has 200-500MW mining capacity
• BPA limits sites to 9.9MW blocks
• 100% bonus depreciation now available
• Texas has several gigawatts vs PNW
