Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc expands Midland PA facility by 100% to 100MW
Mawson has completed the installation of two additional substation transformers at the Midland site, and expects to double its operational capacity to 100MW in early Q2, up from it’s current 50MW.
Sharon, PA — February 15, 2023 — Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (NASDAQ:MIGI) (“Mawson” or the “Company”), a digital infrastructure provider, announces today that it has installed 2 additional substation transformers at its 100 MW Midland, PA site. These transformers will power the second 50MW of capacity at the facility, capable of holding up to 29,400 miners and producing up to 3.5 exahashes per second (EH/s) when fully deployed¹.
The site is expected to be fully operational in early Q2, 2023 with these transformers being the final piece of infrastructure required, connecting the previously built out poles and wires and is expected to double the Mawson Self-mining and hosting operations, once our modular data centers and ASIC miners are fully deployed.
The completion of the site will allow Mawson to increase it’s participation in its market-leading Energy Markets Program, meaning the entire 100 MW of power will be available for participation in the curtailment and demand response programs. Mawson earned more than $4 million in revenue in the month of December through their current programs, operating at 50 MW.
The site is one of two large scale Bitcoin Mining operations Mawson controls in the area. The other is the proposed 120 MW facility in Sharon, PA, scheduled to come online incrementally through 2023/24 commencing in Q2, 2023 starting with the recently announced 12MW of self-mining operations.
Liam Wilson, COO, commented “We are delighted to take delivery of these transformers which will help push forward Mawson’s growth through 2023. We are excited to see this fantastic site come to life and are equally as excited about the results we expect to see through our Bitcoin self-mining, hosting and Energy Markets Program revenue streams. The financial flexibility of Mawson’s diversified revenue streams is what makes these sites so attractive. This site also operates on carbon-free power, which is a great help towards meeting our ESG targets. Mawson is looking forward to a strong start to our 2023 with rapidly expanding our operations.”
¹Statements about ASIC miner capacity and Exahash forecasts in this document are not an assurance that Mawson will have that many ASIC miners available to deploy (whether self-mining or hosted units). Mawson’s ability to deploy units will depend on many factors such as Mawson’s future ASIC miner purchases and sales, our ability to attract future hosting customers, and the number of ASIC miners customers have to deploy.

Statements about hashrate capacity
Statements in the press release about hashrate capacity (including ‘installed capacity’ or ‘nameplate’ capacity), will often differ from the actual or observed hashrates. Hashrate capacity generally makes certain assumptions about the efficiency of the ASIC miners that are in use. Some ASIC miner models will consume less power to create the same amount of hashing power than other ASIC miner models (typically more recent models are more efficient). Many ASIC miner fleets are blended fleets, including various ASIC miner models each with different efficiency ratings. Hashrate capacity figures typically assume 100% deployment of ASIC miners. Given the large numbers of computing units (often numbering in the tens of thousands), ASIC mining fleets are rarely 100% deployed and online at any one time. This can be due to a variety of factors, including ASIC miners being under maintenance, in storage, in transit, or due to technical faults and breakdowns. Once deployed and online, the actual or observed hashrate can be influenced by other factors such as heat, overclocking (causing the ASIC miner to perform at levels higher than the manufacturer’s specifications), the age, and wear and tear exhibited by the ASIC miners and also by the limitations of the surrounding infrastructure, such as power outages, and MDC and transformer breakdowns. Construction and development delays are a common risk for mining data centers, for example due to weather, permitting delays, or labor and equipment shortages. Investors should consider all risk factors related to uptime when considering these figures, which are a best-case scenario.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Mawson cautions that statements in this press release that are not a description of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

¹Assumes all equipment deployed and 100% online, plus the construction of all contracted sites on time, actual results are likely to vary in a negative manner. Construction delays are common and it is rare for all equipment to be deployed and 100% online, however accurate historical downtime averages are difficult to calculate and also may not provide an accurate picture due to differences moving forward. Investors should consider all risk factors related to uptime when considering these figures, which are a best case scenario. The above information is for general information purposes only, and are forward looking statements which should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results.
