Sangha Renewables Launches 20-Megawatt Bitcoin Mining Facility in Texas

Sangha Renewables has inaugurated a 20-megawatt bitcoin mining facility in West Texas, integrating renewable energy with flexible data-center operations. Located in Ector County near Odessa, the facility operates on a 150-megawatt solar farm and commenced full operations after a recent ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The site boasts a capacity of 19.9 MW and is powered by solar energy, supplemented by electricity and balancing services from Totalenergies. Under this partnership, Sangha manages the mining facility and provides its own hardware and load-management systems. Totalenergies offers retail power services, including firm power during non-solar hours and structured products to mitigate price volatility. The project was supported by Energy consultancy Links Genco for energy structuring and grid compliance.
This launch comes at a time when bitcoin miners are facing a historically low hash price due to a recent decline in bitcoin s price, despite the network s hashrate remaining near record highs. Although there was a slight downward adjustment in the Bitcoin network s difficulty earlier this week, the reduction was less than 1 , providing only limited relief for miners experiencing tight margins.
Sangha views this project as a model for future endeavors, utilizing bitcoin mining to monetize renewable energy assets that encounter congestion or pricing issues. The company emphasizes that the ability of mining operations to quickly adjust power consumption makes them ideal for collaboration with intermittent energy sources like solar.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by local officials and representatives from Totalenergies and Links Genco.
