Phoenix Group Adds 52 Megawatts of Bitcoin Mining Capacity in Ethiopia, Increasing Total Global Operational Capacity to Over 500 Megawatts
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 29, 2025--
Phoenix Group PLC (ADX:PHX), a pioneering global cryptocurrency, blockchain, and next-generation digital asset infrastructure company, has secured an additional 52 MW of mining capacity in Ethiopia. This expansion increases the Company's total operational capacity in the country to 132 MW and raises its global capacity to over 500 MW across five countries, reinforcing Phoenix Group's position as one of the world's top 10 Bitcoin miners.
Earlier this year, Phoenix Group marked its entry into Ethiopia with an 80 MW power purchase agreement (PPA), laying the groundwork for efficient, low-cost, and sustainable operations in a strategically important region. The newly secured 52 MW site will be developed in two phases. Phase 1 will deliver 20 MW of capacity, activating 5,300 high-efficiency air-cooled mining units with an expected output of 1.2 EH/s. Phase 2, set for completion by the end of Q2 2025, will add a further 32 MW, using hydro-cooling technology. Once fully operational, the site's total hash rate is projected to double to approximately 2.4 EH/s.
Phoenix Group's Ethiopian operations rank among the most sustainable in global Bitcoin mining, with 90% of their energy sourced from renewable hydropower via the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. This clean energy focus reflects the Group's commitment to responsible growth and advancing energy-conscious practices across its global mining portfolio.
