Overview

Hut 8 Salt Creek is the 63 MW operating pin near Orla on the Reeves County public map. Hut 8 announced on 27 February 2024 that it had started construction of a 63 MW greenfield digital-asset mining site it named in Culberson County, Texas, expecting miners online in the second quarter of 2024. The company said the site could host up to about 3.6 EH/s if current-generation miners were deployed, that all-in design-and-build cost was expected to be less than $275,000 per megawatt versus a roughly $460,000-per-megawatt acquisition benchmark in the area, and that the Culberson County project created optionality to expand self-mining or move activity from Granbury, Texas, and Kearney, Nebraska. Hut 8 expected to build the 63 MW site for $17.3 million or less. On 16 April 2024 Hut 8 reported energization of one third of the 63 MW Salt Creek site, 78 days after breaking ground, after relocating more than 25,000 miners from Kearney and Granbury in eight days and deploying Reactor, its energy-curtailment software, so miners hash when profitable. CEO Asher Genoot said energy-price outlooks at the site still pointed to about a 30 percent lower cost to mine relative to those hosted sites.
