EXHIBIT 99.1
Mawson Infrastructure Group Expands to Ohio for AI/HPC Expansion
To Bolster Long-Term AI/HPC Growth Capacities, Mawson Expands to Ohio
Expected to Increase Company's Total Capacity to 153 Megawatts upon Completion
Mawson Invites Additional AI and HPC Partners for Further AI Collaboration and Innovation
MIDLAND, Pa., Aug. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (NASDAQ: MIGI) ("Mawson" or "the Company"), a publicly-traded technology company providing digital infrastructure to the AI, HPC and digital assets markets, and headquartered in the United States, today announced its expansion of its lease in Ohio, further extending its AI (artificial intelligence) and HPC (high-performance computing) growth capacities.
Mawson also invites additional AI/HPC partners, as it expects to further increase its total capacity from the currently operational 129 megawatts (“MW”) across its Pennsylvania facilities in Midland, PA and Bellefonte, PA, to about 153 MW, given its expansion to Ohio.
Rahul Mewawalla, CEO and President, stated, “Our expansion into Ohio further increases our footprint in the PJM market, the largest wholesale electric market in North America, and amongst the most attractive markets, in our view, for AI (artificial intelligence) and HPC (high-performance computing). We are also seeing companies such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Google expanding their operations in the PJM market, which speaks favourably to its future growth opportunities. Moreover, we are extremely proud of our Carbon-Free energy approach, including nuclear energy, as we continue to expand our digital infrastructure platforms to serve AI, HPC, and digital assets markets. We expect digital infrastructure for high-performance and accelerated computing to become increasingly valuable and we are excited about our expansion to Ohio, building upon our recent expansion in Pennsylvania which we successfully completed last quarter. We also look forward to our continuing to partner and collaborate with innovative AI and HPC colocation customers to power the future of AI.”
Key Highlights:
- Mawson’s expansion into Perry County, Ohio further increases its footprint in the PJM market, which is the largest wholesale electric market in North America and has competitive power rates and is a deregulated market.
- Secures lease amendment for an extended term for 9 years through April 2033.
- Secures initial 24 megawatts of capacity through agreements, which could grow Mawson from currently operational 129 MW to 153 MW.
- Expected to commence initial construction while inviting AI/HPC partners to discuss opportunities to partner and collaborate with Mawson to power the deployment of NVIDIA GPUs and other high performance and accelerated computing.
