El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has claimed officials will be able to use geothermal energy from one of the country’s inactive volcanoes to power its Bitcoin City project.
In a Sunday notice, Bukele said there was a 90% probability of using the Conchagua volcano to supply 42 megawatts — “enough to provide energy to the entire Bitcoin City,” according to the president. The Salvadoran leader said the state-owned electrical company LaGeo was continuing to increase its production of geothermal power from different volcanoes in the country, with one of the sites believed capable of producing 95 MW.
