2024 年非洲比特幣挖礦

許多當地比特幣礦工，例如 Gridless，透過在肯亞利用水力和生物質進行的活動，繼續展示非洲綠色比特幣採礦和農村電氣化的催化、標準化和創新的重要里程碑。

Ethiopia now produces 2.5% of the total global Bitcoin mining hashrate, more than double what the entire continent produced in 2023.

衣索比亞目前的比特幣挖礦算力產量佔全球總量的 2.5%，是 2023 年整個非洲大陸產量的兩倍多。

Following the green lighting of Bitcoin mining earlier this year, we've seen a significant increase in the Bitcoin mining operations there, with over $1 Billion spent on mining infrastructure in 2024 (according to reports).

繼今年稍早比特幣挖礦獲得批准後，我們看到那裡的比特幣挖礦業務顯著增加，到 2024 年，挖礦基礎設施的支出將超過 10 億美元（據報道）。

Africa is a hotspot for global Bitcoin miners, as it hosts some of the world's cheapest green energy, such as Ethiopia's 3.2 cents per kilowatt-hour.

非洲是全球比特幣礦商的熱點地區，因為它擁有世界上一些最便宜的綠色能源，例如衣索比亞的每千瓦時 3.2 美分。

Numerous local Bitcoin miners, such as Gridless, continue to showcase the significant milestones in catalyzing, standardizing, and innovating green Bitcoin mining and rural electrification in Africa with their activities using hydro and biomass in Kenya.

許多當地的比特幣礦工，例如 Gridless，透過在肯亞利用水力和生物質進行的活動，繼續展示非洲綠色比特幣採礦和農村電氣化的催化、標準化和創新的重要里程碑。

As Bitcoin mining continues to rise on the continent, the Green Africa Mining Alliance, spearheaded by Gridless and other local Bitcoin miners such as Trojan Mining, whose operations in Nigeria have this year crossed the 1MW milestone, will continue to be necessary for providing best practices, case studies, and templates for the horde of new miners setting up in Africa.

隨著比特幣挖礦在非洲大陸持續興起，由Gridless 和Trojan Mining 等其他本地比特幣礦商牽頭的綠色非洲礦業聯盟將繼續成為提供最佳實踐的必要條件，Trojan Mining 在尼日利亞的業務今年已突破1MW 里程碑、案例研究以及在非洲設立的大批新礦工的模板。

Bitcoin mining in 2024 remains domiciled mainly in East Africa, with Ethiopia leading in shear hashrate, which accounts for 2.5% of global hashrate. According to numbers from Ethiopia Electric Power (EEP), this year alone, Ethiopia raked in over $55 million from electricity sales for Bitcoin mining, which accounted for 18% of their total revenue.

2024 年的比特幣挖礦仍主要集中在東非，其中衣索比亞在剪切算力方面領先，佔全球算力的 2.5%。根據埃塞俄比亞電力公司（EEP）的數據，光是今年，衣索比亞就從比特幣挖礦電力銷售中獲得了超過 5,500 萬美元的收入，佔其總收入的 18%。

These revenues contributed to quickening the construction of the much-needed transmission lines to help deliver the electricity from its Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), which boasts a capacity of over 6 Gigawatts. Thus, Bitcoin mining is emerging as a suitable catalyst for delivering electricity to the country.

這些收入有助於加快急需的輸電線路的建設，以幫助從容量超過 6 吉瓦的埃塞俄比亞大復興大壩 (GERD) 輸送電力。因此，比特幣挖礦正在成為向該國輸送電力的合適催化劑。

With the GERD now producing 30% (roughly 1,500 MW) of its planned capacity, coupled with the surge in interest to mine in Ethiopia, we can expect to see the EEP's revenues increase beyond the $100m mark and continue to fast-track the construction of transmission lines to electrify rural communities and provide electricity to millions of Ethiopians.

由於 GERD 目前已生產了其計劃產能的 30%（約 1,500 兆瓦），加上對埃塞俄比亞採礦的興趣激增，我們預計 EEP 的收入將增長至超過 1 億美元大關，並繼續快速推進建設輸電線路為農村社區供電並為數百萬埃塞俄比亞人提供電力。

Following the successes in Ethiopia and developments yet to unfold from Kenya in 2025 as it proceeds with its partnership with MARA, other countries will also likely join in on providing an enabling environment for Bitcoin mining and leverage it as a tool to solve its energy challenges—as doing so has shown to provide the much-needed revenue to boost electricity infrastructure development, create jobs, sustainably electrify rural communities, and catalyze green energy production.

繼埃塞俄比亞取得成功以及肯亞在2025 年與MARA 繼續開展合作夥伴關係後尚未取得的進展之後，其他國家也可能會加入進來，為比特幣挖礦提供有利的環境，並將其作為解決能源挑戰的工具——事實證明，這樣做可以提供急需的收入，以促進電力基礎設施發展、創造就業機會、可持續地為農村社區提供電力以及促進綠色能源生產。

Additionally, as more Bitcoin mining gains ground in West Africa, 2025 could see countries such as Nigeria joining the Bitcoin mining race via hydroelectricity and flared gas, with other regions facing similar energy challenges joining the mix.

此外，隨著越來越多的比特幣挖礦在西非普及，到2025 年，尼日利亞等國家可能會透過水力發電和火炬天然氣加入比特幣挖礦競賽，而其他面臨類似能源挑戰的地區也會加入進來。

Bitcoin mining will continue to be a staple on the continent as countries continue to leverage it to sustainably catalyzing energy infrastructure development, rural electrification, and economic development through Bitcoin mining.

比特幣挖礦將繼續成為非洲大陸的主要領域，因為各國繼續利用比特幣挖礦來永續促進能源基礎設施發展、農村電氣化和經濟發展。
