second (“EH/s”). Excludes 17,040 miners that are offline as a
result of damage to Building G from the severe winter weather in
late December 2022 in Texas.
- Power
curtailment credits received from the Company’s ability, under its
long-term power contracts, to sell power back to the ERCOT grid at
market-driven spot prices.
- Credits received
from participation in ERCOT demand response programs.
- The Company
discloses this figure in its monthly updates if it exceeds $1
million for the current month.
- Power Credits
and Demand Response Credits for July 2023 are estimates.
“Riot had another strong month in July amidst
some of the most challenging operating months of the year, as
temperatures in Texas have soared,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot.
“Riot’s self-mining operations mined 410 Bitcoin in the month of
July, while our power strategy generated $6.4 million in power
credits and $1.8 million in demand response credits. Our team was
able to navigate rapidly changing power market and Bitcoin mining
conditions in order to maximize value on a real time basis through
our power strategy.
“I’m also excited to announce that the
replacement dry coolers for repairing Building G have begun
shipping, with units beginning to arrive in August. The replacement
dry coolers are the final piece to the repairs in Building G and as
they are received and installed, miners will begin ramping back up.
Hash rate is expected to begin coming back online in the beginning
of September until it reaches full capacity of 2.4 EH/s over the
coming months.”
Estimated Hash Rate Growth
As previously disclosed, Riot is in the process
of repairing damage incurred in Building G during the severe winter
storm in Texas in December 2022, and Riot now anticipates achieving
a total self-mining hash rate capacity of 12.5 EH/s at its Rockdale
Facility in the second half of 2023.
The Company has also entered into a long-term
purchase agreement with MicroBT, which includes an initial order of
7.6 EH/s of next-generation Bitcoin miners for its Corsicana
Facility. Upon full deployment of this initial order by mid-2024,
Riot’s total self-mining hash rate capacity is expected to reach
20.1 EH/s.
Riot’s Power Strategy Helps to Stabilize
Texas Energy Grid During July Heat Wave
In July 2023, Texas experienced extreme heat,
causing demand for electricity to spike, in some cases extremely
close to available supply. On certain dates of peak demand, Riot
curtailed more than 90% of its power usage, temporarily forgoing
revenue from its Bitcoin mining operations and instead providing
energy resources to ERCOT. During these times, the Company’s
curtailment of operations meaningfully contributed to reducing
overall power demand to help ensure that consumers did not
experience interruptions in service.
Investor Events
Riot will report second quarter 2023 financial
results on Wednesday, August 9th after the market close.
