Micro-Grid Hydroelectric Bitcoin Mining Facilities Emerge in Kenya

GHash Mining has emerged as a significant player in the Bitcoin mining industry in Kenya and across Africa, pioneering a unique approach that combines sustainable energy and cryptocurrency mining. The company has been harnessing surplus capacity from mini-grid hydroelectric generators for Bitcoin mining, which is seen as a transformative step in the convergence of energy and technology in the region.


GHash Mining is utilizing an innovative approach to power their Bitcoin mining facilities by harnessing surplus capacity from mini-grid hydroelectric generators. This method aligns with sustainable energy initiatives and aims to address the energy deficit in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in rural areas.

The company provides a comprehensive platform covering financing, hardware procurement, mining operations, and custody services, simplifying Bitcoin mining for project developers and engaging cryptocurrency investors through smart contracts.

By using a decentralized approach to cryptocurrency holding and mining, GHash Mining also offers a way to fight inflation and protect residents’ wealth in the region.


The company has already established 25 small Bitcoin Mining data centers and plans to build 140 more by 2024. This expansion is expected to have a substantial impact on the growth and accessibility of Bitcoin mining in Africa. GHash Mining’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions and cryptocurrency mining is reshaping Kenya’s energy landscape and is poised to elevate Africa as a central hub for decentralized Bitcoin mining.

This combination of sustainable energy and cryptocurrency mining presents a win-win-win situation for energy developers, local communities, and the national utility grid, offering a sustainable solution to rural electrification while benefiting both investors and local communities.
