DPO builds flexible data centers that utilize on-location, behind-the-meter bitcoin mining computers to maximize the profitability of clean energy assets. DPO is currently running bitcoin mining deployments behind the meter on wind, solar and hydro facilities. One of DPO’s own hydroelectric sites is currently undergoing a FERC-mandated maintenance review and through bitcoin mining with SBCs, DPO is able to fund the necessary maintenance. Keeping this plant, which has been producing zero-carbon power since 1908, safe and operational aids the decarbonization of the grid. DPO also intends to partner with SBP to incentivize the development and repowering of additional wind and solar assets in North America.

SBP is the most trusted solution in bitcoin sustainability for institutional investors and as the margins of bitcoin miners decrease, they are being seen as a key pathway for green bitcoin miners to maintain profitability. SBPs mission is to incentivize the use of verified clean energy through a market-based mechanism and mobilize institutional capital into clean energy development, creating a transparency layer for the sustainability of the bitcoin network.

"We are thrilled to add DPO to our growing list of clean energy miners," said Brad Van Voorhees, CEO and Cofounder of SBP. "DPO’s model of partnering directly with clean energy producers to monetize excess generation and solve the daily challenges these companies face is well-aligned with our vision of how bitcoin mining can be a key energy transition technology.”

"DPO is excited to partner with SBP to further advance bitcoin mining as a solution for renewable energy companies" said DPO’s CEO Andrew Webber. "SBP’s innovative offering is an institutionally-appropriate way for our clean energy clients to out-earn bitcoin miners using dirty power and will help us accelerate the decarbonization of the bitcoin network and the US power grid.” This partnership with SBP will not only benefit DPO and its clients, but also contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
