TechFlow news, October 21 — According to TheMinerMag, Bitcoin mining hosting provider Revolve Labs plans to build an artificial intelligence data center in central Minnesota, after withdrawing its previous proposal for a mining expansion due to community opposition.
Revolve Labs held meetings with the Glencoe Economic Development Authority in September, proposing to expand its facilities in the city to accommodate one or two AI data centers, along with cooling systems and backup generators. The project is expected to have a capacity of 10 megawatts, employ around 10 people, and cost between $40 million and $60 million. As part of its proposal, Revolve Labs intends to purchase two parcels of land totaling 6.2 acres and construct a substation for the expansion.
Revolve Labs currently operates a Bitcoin mining facility in Glencoe with approximately 20 megawatts of capacity and 537 PH/s of hashing power. Last month it was reported that the company had attempted to increase its mining capacity in Winton, Minnesota, but withdrew its application following community opposition over noise concerns.
