Looks like the port of Walla Walla finally came to a decision to lease 10 acres to Bitmain to start their mining operation. Letting them get established and see how things go, Bitmain will be able to lease/purchase 30 additions acres.
The Company I work for will be providing to the electric needs of Bitmain. This is goin to be a huge project for us!! My crew just built a substation not too far from where Bitmain will be setting up their Bitcoin mining operations, just a year and a half ago.
Guess what, that little substation will be maxed out due to the demands of Bitmain. This might seem like a problem but it is really not an issue. With the money generated from Bitmain my company should be able to add onto the existing substation rather quickly. There is plenty of room to do so behind the exiting one. Good planning went into the placement of this substation.
This should also bring about 30 permanent jobs to the small area. It might not seem like much but when you are in a small rural town, that can be a good amount jobs. Jobs where people don’t have to travel and hour one way to work. Just hop on a bike and ride around the corner.
It has been quite a fight with the Port of Walla Walla to get this thing goin and it finally seems things are moving forward. We have been discussing this at work for the past 6 months wondering when or what will happen.
Now we are just waiting for Bitmain to send a check, so the my Lineman brothers and I can get to work supplying them with the amount electricity they want.
As the project gets goin I hope I can give you and inside look at what goes into getting Bitmain the electricity they need.
Until next time
Steem on
Everybody
