Ethiopia is set to embark on an ambitious journey towards integrating cutting-edge technologies into its economic infrastructure. Aiming to become a global digital economy leader, the country plans to establish a $250 million bitcoin mining and AI data center led by the Russian bitcoin mining company BitCluster.
The initiative, known as Project Mano, is a significant milestone in Ethiopia's technological advancement. It involves the construction of a 120-megawatt facility in Addis Ababa, strategically located near the Kilinto high-voltage substation to leverage the country's vast renewable energy resources, particularly hydroelectric power from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
