TechFlow news: On April 19, according to Cointelegraph, Alcoa Inc. is set to finalize a deal with Bitcoin mining company NYDIG to sell its idle Massena East aluminum smelter in New York State, with completion expected by mid-year. The facility has been offline since 2014 and features an on-site substation, transmission lines, high-capacity grid connectivity, and access to hydropower supplied by the New York Power Authority—making it attractive to Bitcoin miners and data center operators.
The report notes that some decommissioned industrial sites across the U.S. are being repurposed for Bitcoin mining, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing facilities.
