Bitdeer expands power capacity pipeline to 2.5 GW with MCPA lease agreement

Bitdeer Technologies has entered into a lease agreement with the Monroe County Port Authority to secure up to 570 MW of additional power capacity. This strategic partnership significantly increases Bitdeer’s total capacity to 2.5 GW globally and strengthens Bitdeer’s infrastructure development pipeline for Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing and AI. Under this agreement, Bitdeer has leased land for 30 years at the Monroe County Port Authority-owned Hannibal Industrial Park in Clarington, Ohio USA, which previously served as an aluminum processing facility. This site benefits from existing power infrastructure, utility switchyards and transmission capable of supporting hyperscale loads. Of the total 570 MW of power capacity contemplated under this agreement, the initial 266 MW is expected to be available in Q3 2025, with the remaining 304 MW currently under review to be formally incorporated into the regional transmission planning process.
