The collaboration was declared last year when Block, formerly called Square, dedicated $5 million to the project. The facility is expected to be completed by the 2022 end, says Blockstream. The solar mining operation will be utilizing Megapack battery equipment and Tesla photovoltaic, in order to operate completely on renewable energy. The 12 megawatt-hours (MWh) battery and 3.8 megawatts (MW) Tesla solar array will create 30 petahashes per second of mining power. According to the hash rate, the total combined computational power is used to mine and process transactions. At the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin was standing at $42,489.08 and as per the data from Cryptocompare, the facility could mine roughly 4.11 BTC per month. It is also important to note that the Blockstream facility will be pretty small in comparison to the 300 MW operation that RIOT Blockchain has developed at a former Alcoa aluminum plant in
