Paraguay’s national electricity company, ANDE, says special power contracts for high-consumption users, including crypto miners, will expire without renewal under current rules. Operators covered by the agreements draw a combined 943.8 megawatts from the country’s surplus hydropower.

About 77% to 80% of HIVE Digital Technologies’ active mining capacity is in Paraguay.

ANDE is also signing 15-year electricity supply agreements with AI data centers. The special contracts are scheduled to expire Dec. 31, 2027.
