Bitcoin Miner Marathon In Talks With Kenya to Help With Its Green Energy Ambitions

Summary

Marathon Digital (MARA) is in talks with Kenya to manage its renewable energy through mining and develop its crypto regime. Kenya aims to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2030, primarily from geothermal, wind, and solar sources. MARA's technology can help manage the intermittency of renewable energy by using bitcoin mining operations as a power management system. The company has successfully implemented a similar project in Paraguay. The Kenyan government is seeking to develop a regulatory framework for digital assets and potentially establish a cryptocurrency exchange.
