Our in-house design team and electricians will retrofit the existing structure and expect to bring 11 MW online by the third quarter of 2023. We expect to commission the remaining 11 MW during the second half of 2024, providing strategic flexibility around the next BTC halving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bitfarms\u2019 Vice President Corporate Development Phillippe Fortier stated, \u201cOur financial strength and flexibility enabled us to act quickly and secure this accretive opportunity during this period of industry transition. We anticipate this 22 MW increase in capacity will add over 600 PH\/s when in full production. With the next BTC halving expected a little over one year from now, this expansion should improve our industry position as we continue to pursue other strategic transactions intended to deliver significant value to our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>The Baie-Comeau Agreement Summary<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Procuring an evergreen contract with the local utility for 22 MW of hydro power for US$1.8 million, 40% cash and 60% in Bitfarms common shares.<\/li>\n<li>Securing a 10-year lease in an industrialized area with the option to purchase at a fixed price throughout the lease term.<\/li>\n<li>Permitting and zoning for 22 MW deployment with potential for future expansion on the site.<\/li>\n<li>Common stock portion of purchase price subject to regulatory approval and customary and contractual resale restrictions for up to 6 months, with the final agreement being subject to customary closing conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Bitfarms Ltd.<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Founded in 2017, Bitfarms is a global, publicly traded (NASDAQ\/TSX: BITF) Bitcoin mining company.
