Current Situation About Bitcoin Mining in Ethiopia

Dear Epic Miner,

On this page we want to share transparently the update with you regarding the current power situation at the Ethiopian mining facilities.

Below you will find te original message of the Ethiopian government regarding the current curtailments due to "dry season".

We can give it a positive spin that it is temporary and that we are in close contact with the Ethiopian authorities to get the energy back to full capacity as soon as possible.

Important Update: Implementation of Load-Shedding Schedule for Data Centers

''Dear Valued Data Mining Customers,

We hope this message finds you well. Due to current supply-side constraints, all data centers are required to strictly adhere to the approved supply–demand balance load-shedding plan until further notice. This measure is necessary to ensure grid stability and applies to all facilities, including newly approved connections.

Please find below the operational limits based on the load-shedding schedule:

· 75% Load Curtailment (16:00–22:00 | 6 hours): Data centers shall operate at a maximum of 25% of their approved maximum load during this period.

· 50% Load Curtailment (05:00–16:00 | 11 hours): Data centers shall operate at a maximum of 50% of their normal load during this period.

· 25% Load Curtailment (22:00–05:00 | 7 hours): Data centers shall operate at a maximum of 75% of their normal load during this period.

Please note that no exceptions will be granted, and all grid-connected data centers must comply with the above loading schedule. In the event of an emergency or system operational requirement, the Load Dispatch Center (LDC) system operator reserves the sole authority to instruct substations to modify the schedule as necessary.

We also wish to emphasize that exceeding the approved load or contravening the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is strictly prohibited.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to maintain a reliable and balanced power supply.

Best regards,

National Load Dispatch Center

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
