Supported by cheap electricity and the government support on crypto, the mining facility is located in Ekibastuz, near Russia. If operated at full power with Bitmain's AntMiner S19 series or MicroBT's WhatsMiner M30, the facility will be able to generate output of about 5-6 EH/s, or about 4% of Bitcoin's current total hashrate. The construction for the facility began in August 2019, costing more than $23 million to build. The facility will employs about 160 people to operate and maintain the facility.
