埃塞俄比亞利用其宏偉的文藝復興大壩進行比特幣挖礦，吸引了 10 億美元投資，同時促進再生能源的使用

衣索比亞正在利用非洲最大的水力發電計畫大復興大壩（GERD）來促進比特幣開採。事實證明，這一舉措是有利可圖的。

Ethiopia is using its Grand Renaissance Dam (GERD) to promote Bitcoin mining, a move that has already proven profitable.

衣索比亞正在利用其復興大壩（GERD）來促進比特幣開採，這項舉措已被證明是有利可圖的。

The income obtained from Bitcoin mining now represents 18% of the income earned by the Ethiopian Electric Power Company (EEP). Over $1 billion in Bitcoin mining investments have been attracted to Ethiopia in the past year.

目前，比特幣挖礦收入佔埃塞俄比亞電力公司（EEP）收入的 18%。去年，衣索比亞吸引了超過 10 億美元的比特幣挖礦投資。

Ethiopia has invested $1 billion in Bitcoin mining in the last year. 25 mining companies have partnered with the government. The cheap electricity from the dam is used by these companies. Electricity only costs 3.2 cents per kilowatt in the country. It has one of the lowest electricity prices in the world.

衣索比亞去年投資了 10 億美元用於比特幣挖礦。 25 家礦業公司已與政府合作。這些公司使用來自大壩的廉價電力。該國電費每千瓦僅 3.2 美分。它是世界上電價最低的國家之一。

This makes Ethiopia an ideal hotspot for Bitcoin mining. Ethiopia is attracting miners from all over the world. In fact, many miners, especially China miners, are interested. After China banned cryptocurrency mining recently, miners are on the search for new places. With its low-cost electricity, Ethiopia presents in great opportunity to run such operations.

這使得埃塞俄比亞成為比特幣挖礦的理想熱點。埃塞俄比亞正在吸引來自世界各地的礦工。事實上，很多礦工，尤其是中國礦工都對此感興趣。在中國最近禁止加密貨幣開採後，礦工們正在尋找新的地方。埃塞俄比亞的電力成本低廉，為開展此類業務提供了絕佳的機會。

Ethiopia's government is happy about the success of Bitcoin mining in the country. In addition, millions of dollars in deals with mining companies will help in the development of the country.

衣索比亞政府對該國比特幣開採的成功感到高興。此外，與礦業公司的數百萬美元交易將有助於該國的發展。

Not only is Bitcoin mining growing in Ethiopia. Renewable energy is also being utilized for Bitcoin mining in other African countries.

比特幣開採不僅在埃塞俄比亞不斷增長。其他非洲國家也利用再生能源進行比特幣開採。

Rural areas in Kenya and Zambia are being powered by renewable energy powered microgrids. The electricity and these microgrid cities support local businesses.

肯亞和尚比亞的農村地區正在由再生能源微電網供電。電力和這些微電網城市為當地企業提供支援。

Bitcoin mining is also helping environmental projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At Virunga National Park, hydroelectric power is used to mine Bitcoin. The money raised goes to local businesses and infrastructure.

比特幣挖礦也幫助了剛果民主共和國的環境計畫。在維龍加國家公園，水力發電用於開採比特幣。籌集的資金將用於當地企業和基礎設施建設。

This larger trend of Bitcoin mining, which is also opted by Russia, includes Ethiopia. The country is doing Bitcoin mining on renewable energy to create new jobs and spur economic growth. Using clean energy sources, it could also help the environment.

俄羅斯也選擇了這個更大的比特幣挖礦趨勢，其中包括衣索比亞。該國正在利用再生能源進行比特幣挖礦，以創造新的就業機會並刺激經濟成長。使用清潔能源還可以幫助環境。

Recently, BIT Mining Limited, a leading cryptocurrency mining company, also entered Ethiopia. In the country, the company ended up agreeing to acquire crypto mining data centers at 51 megawatts.

近期，領先的加密貨幣挖礦公司BIT Mining Limited也進入了衣索比亞。在該國，該公司最終同意收購 51 兆瓦的加密貨幣挖礦資料中心。

Moreover, 17,869 top-tier Bitcoin mining machines will also be purchased by BIT Mining. It will also enable the company to improve its mining capacity and operations in Ethiopia.

此外，BIT Mining還將採購17,869台頂級比特幣礦機。它還將使該公司能夠提高其在埃塞俄比亞的採礦能力和業務。

BIT Mining’s move demonstrates more interest in making Ethiopia a mining hub.

BIT Mining 的舉動表明了他們對將埃塞俄比亞打造成採礦中心的更大興趣。

However, there are problems with these steps. For example, if more Bitcoin mining requires more energy, this could be pressure on Ethiopia’s renewable resources. The country needs to strike a balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability.

然而，這些步驟存在問題。例如，如果更多的比特幣開採需要更多的能源，這可能會對埃塞俄比亞的再生資源造成壓力。該國需要在經濟成長和環境永續性之間取得平衡。
