Energized bitcoin mining sites are among the fastest power assets to buy in the US. Many have transformers in place, a utility account and containers or buildings ready. They also increasingly sell to AI buyers, which has pushed up prices. Invariant lists turnkey mining sites from 0.5 to 85 MW across Kentucky, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Texas and the Midwest, plus hosting capacity.
Before you start
- Turnkey mining sites can be live immediately. Check the rate schedule and curtailment terms first.
- Mining packs 2 to 5 MW per acre, far tighter than AI campuses.
- In ERCOT, check Load Resource status and SB 6 curtailment rules.
- Invariant lists mining sites from 0.5 to 85 MW and 11 hosting options.
What to check on a mining site
Read the power contract: firm or interruptible, demand charges, minimum terms and who owns the transformers. Check the noise setback and any county rules, since air-cooled miners are loud. Confirm the site is not already shopped to an AI buyer with an exclusivity in place.
Texas mining sites
Many Texas miners earn revenue by curtailing in ERCOT’s demand response programs. SB 6 rules now apply to new loads of 75 MW and up, and ERCOT’s large load process governs expansions. A Texas mining site’s value depends on its place in that process.ERCOTTexas Legislature Online
Mining sites selling to AI
Public miners such as TeraWulf have signed large AI leases at their mining campuses. That has raised what owners expect for energized sites with room to grow. Riot’s Corsicana site shows the mining density benchmark: 265 acres for a planned 1 GW.U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (EDGAR)Riot Platforms
