Sangha Renewables, in partnership with Links Genco and TotalEnergies, today announced the energization of a 19.9 megawatt Bitcoin mining facility located in Ector County, West Texas.
The project will operate behind the meter with a 150 megawatt solar power plant, combining renewable energy generation with digital infrastructure to open up new revenue streams for the energy sector.
Developed with support from Links Genco, the facility uses Bitcoin mining to provide dispatchable industrial demand to fluctuating renewable energy output.
According to a memo shared with Bitcoin Magazine, Genco provided energy structuring and grid compliance services to help Sangha configure a load profile that complements solar power generation while mitigating the impact of transmission constraints and regional power curtailments.
Back in May, Sangha held a groundbreaking ceremony for a Bitcoin mining facility. The project was developed in collaboration with an independent power generation company, now known as TotalEnergies, and was built on an existing solar power plant in an effort to turn an underutilized renewable asset into a profitable Bitcoin-generating business.
The opening ceremony had just concluded with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in West Texas. The event brought together company representatives, local officials, and industry partners such as Links Genco and TotalEnergies.
Under the project agreement, Sangha will own and operate the mining data center, deploy high-efficiency hardware, and manage load to maximize utilization during periods of excess solar power generation.
TotalEnergies offers comprehensive retail power solutions, including balancing services, supplemental grid power during non-solar hours, and structured energy products designed to address price fluctuations while maintaining operational reliability.
By installing mining facilities at power plants, Sangha seeks to capture value that could otherwise be lost in areas with congested communications.
Bitcoin mining as a vehicle for new energy value streams
This approach also provides a framework for scalable and location-independent loads, which could provide additional revenue streams for renewable energy producers and support broader grid stability.
“This project highlights how Bitcoin mining can be a tool to unlock new value streams in the energy sector,” said Spencer Ma, co-founder and president of Sangha Renewables.
Ma highlighted that partnerships with energy providers like TotalEnergies demonstrate how digital infrastructure can be integrated into long-term energy planning.
Simon Binet, Vice President of Trading US Gas & Power at TotalEnergies, said the deal is in line with the company’s goal of providing innovative energy solutions that support decarbonization efforts in energy-intensive industries.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony included opening remarks from Sangha Renewables, Lynx Genco, and Ector County Judge Dustin Fawcett, followed by a guided tour of the mining facility, a press conference, and photo opportunities.
