Ep. 1 Bitcoin Mining with a Municipal Power Company

On today's show, my guest is Dave Meyer. Dave is the general manager at Glencoe Light & Power, and they are a municipal power company in rural Minnesota that services a town of just over 5000 people. What makes Glencoe Light & Power so unique is that they are home to a 10+MW bitcoin mining facility.

On today’s show, Dave and I will talk through the strategies that a municipal power company utilizes to source its power, how the conversations began to have such a large bitcoin mining facility as a customer, and how Glencoe Light & Power views that relationship. This is a fascinating conversation and Dave is a wealth of knowledge on all things power and brings a phenomenal perspective on how bitcoin mining is perceived by a power company.
