Bitcoin Mining News: HUT 8 Leads Sector Higher

  • Hut 8, a bitcoin mining company, secured a five-year agreement with Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator for 310 MW of capacity spanning four locations.
  • The deal follows the Ontario government's late 2024 directive authorizing the Local Generation Program to include new, smaller scale energy producers.
  • The Local Generation Program, set to launch in early 2026, will feature two staggered annual calls for proposals for new builds and existing facilities up to 10 MW.
  • Hut 8 shares rose nearly 15% after the announcement, and the plants will earn about CAD $530 per megawatt-business day starting May 2026, including inflation indexation.
  • Ontario forecasts a 75% electricity demand rise by 2050 with a shortfall of up to 5.8 GW by 2030, making programs like this critical to meeting future needs.
