Canaan’s Avalon A15 XP Rigs Head to Soluna’s Wind Farm in Briscoe County
Announced on Tuesday, the agreement positions Canaan to place roughly 1 exahash per second (EH/s) of compute at the facility, which primarily draws behind-the-meter wind power and can fall back to the grid to maintain uptime. The companies said the installation is slated to begin in the first quarter of 2026.
Soluna, a developer of renewable-powered data centers, said the hosting brings additional utilization to its Dorothy campus, while Canaan, listed on Nasdaq as CAN, adds North American capacity for its Avalon line of miners. Both firms framed the arrangement as standard hosting: Soluna provides infrastructure; Canaan supplies machines.
The Dorothy complex includes modular data-center infrastructure designed for energy-intensive workloads. Soluna has recently brought online the Dorothy 2 expansion, part of a broader pipeline the company cites at more than 2.8 gigawatts of “Renewable Computing” projects aimed at bitcoin mining and AI.
Canaan said the Avalon A15 XP units will run on Soluna’s modular infrastructure at the wind-powered campus, targeting efficiency and reliability. Soluna trades on Nasdaq as SLNH. Shares of SLNH are down more than 15% over the last five trading sessions, but since last month, SLNH has popped upward by 422%.
Both parties emphasized the combination of renewable energy and grid access to smooth operations, with the first rigs expected to arrive ahead of the planned 2026 start.
