Greenidge Generation Establishing Operations in Spartanburg County, SC

Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc., a vertically integrated cryptocurrency mining and power generation company committed to 100% carbon-neutral datacenter operations, announced plans to develop a new cryptocurrency datacenter in Spartanburg County. The $264 million investment will create 40 new tech-sector jobs.

Located on 175 acres in Spartanburg, Greenidge’s South Carolina operations will house some of the most advanced and efficient cryptocurrency mining computers commercially available. Greenidge expects the facility to have at least 100 megawatts of datacenter capacity when fully developed.
