Mystery solved: That secretive solar farm in western Colorado? It’s officially a crypto mine.

The old Louisiana Pacific lumber mill along U.S. 50 is home to a cryptocurrency mine. Aspen Creek Digital Corporation announced late last week that its “high-performance” bitcoin mining center is now operating on the site. A second cryptocurrency mine, operated by Denver-based Crusoe Energy, has opened in Jackson County using potential waste gas from oil wells to fuel generators that power the operation. The company said it is focusing on twinning its operations with renewable power to develop more than 3 gigawatts of wind, solar and battery generation across the United States by early 2025. A third project will be even bigger, a data center with 150 MW of capacity, and an adjacent 200 MW solar installation. The company already has additional cryptocurrency mines Source
