Asuncion mining FAQ
Do I need to be in Asuncion to set up mining in Paraguay?+
For the administrative side, effectively yes. Licensing, utility contracts and finance all run through the capital. The hashing itself is typically sited closer to transmission near Itaipu.
Why is Paraguay so cheap for mining?+
Surplus hydroelectricity from the Itaipu Dam. Paraguay is a small country beside one of the largest hydro plants in the world and cannot consume its share domestically, so it sells the surplus to large industrial loads at rates hard to match anywhere in the Americas.
