Bitcoin mining company Sangha Renewables announced its 19.9-megawatt (MW) solar-powered mining facility in West Texas is now operational.
Sangha’s data center operates behind the meter on a 150 MW solar farm, leveraging the flexibility of bitcoin mining to create a new model for integrating renewables and the bitcoin industry.
The project was developed with the support of TotalEnergies and Links Genco, with the latter providing energy structuring and grid-compliance services to help Sangha configure a load profile that complements solar generation while mitigating exposure to transmission constraints and local curtailment.
According to Bitcoin Magazine, construction on the project began in May, building on an existing solar site to turn underutilized renewable assets into profitable bitcoin-generating operations.
Under the project agreement, Sangha will own and operate the data center, while TotalEnergies will supply comprehensive retail power solutions designed to address price volatility while maintaining operational reliability.
“Sangha is not just building bitcoin mining sites—we’re building a new model for how capital flows in and out of bitcoin,” said Spencer Marr, co-founder and CEO, in a statement. “By applying a project finance structure honed-in the renewable energy and real estate sectors, we enable investors to participate directly in productive assets—without intermediaries, speculative equities, or inefficiencies of datacenter hosting. Investors put cash or bitcoin into the construction of the project and then enjoy streaming distributions of bitcoin for years to come at well below the market price of bitcoin.”
The opening was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony that brought together company representatives, local officials, and industry partners. The ceremony included opening remarks from Sangha Renewables, Links Genco, and Judge Dustin Fawcett of Ector County, and was followed by a tour of the facility.
