Power Costs & Bitmern: Why Ethiopia and the U.S. Win

In Bitcoin mining, electricity cost can make or break profitability. Bitmern strategically operates in two standout locations—Ethiopia and Indiana (USA)—to optimize power costs and boost returns for its clients.

Ethiopia: Hydropower’s Hidden Advantage

• Ultra-low electricity rates: Around 3.2 ¢/kWh—a fraction of typical U.S. commercial rates.
• Surplus hydroelectric power is redirected from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) to mining, turning what would be wasted energy into a $55M+ revenue stream for EEP in 10 months.
• This enables Bitmern to host both top-tier ASICs and older-generation models, extending their lifecycle and maintaining high ROI.
• Due to cooler high-altitude climate and renewable power, miners run efficiently with reduced cooling costs

USA: Indiana’s Data-Center Ready Setup

• Stable, competitive power around 11–12 ¢/kWh for large-scale operations.
• Supportive infrastructure: fast grid connections, reliable power, and declared state incentives .
• Data-center-level cooling and security ensure consistent uptime and lower operational risks.

Why Power Costs Dominate Mining ROI

• Electricity accounts for ~70–80% of operational expenses.
• By sourcing power below industrial U.S. averages, Bitmern maximizes profitability across all hosted rigs.

Final Takeaway

Power cost defines mining success.
Bitmern’s operations in hydropower-rich Ethiopia and grid-ready Indiana offer clients unmatched advantages:

• Lower input costs
