FAIRFIELD, Conn., Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GREE) ("Greenidge"), a vertically integrated cryptocurrency datacenter and power generation company, today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2022 and provided an operational update for the month ended July 31, 2022.
"While our team once again delivered strong operational performance in terms of bitcoin production and plant uptime for the quarter and for the month of July, the approximately
"As a result, we have chosen to pause our plans to develop certain additional sites in our pipeline in the ERCOT market and, instead, intend to concentrate our operations at our two existing sites in South Carolina and New York for the time being. We now expect to have at least 3.6 EH/s of mining capacity by the first quarter of 2023 and expect to maintain our first quarter 2023 level of mining capacity until we determine that market conditions are attractive for additional growth.
"Our development plan is fully funded with cash on our balance sheet and substantially all of the required infrastructure equipment has been procured. We anticipate minimal cash contributions, if any, will be required to finance the purchase of our remaining order book and expect the cost of the remaining infrastructure build to be less than
"Importantly, our lenders have shown strong support of our revised development plan by working with us to flatten our amortization curve in order to further enhance liquidity during this challenging time for our industry. This provides us with additional near-term liquidity as we complete our revised development plan in the upcoming months, which allows us to benefit from the next uptick in the bitcoin cycle while also providing us with a stronger liquidity position in the event of a market downturn"

Greenidge's mining operations in Dresden, NY are powered by the power plant located at the facility. The plant is periodically offline for scheduled maintenance outages and for unscheduled outages. In the second quarter of 2022, the plant was offline for zero (0) hours, representing an uptime, defined as running hours divided by total hours in the period, of
During the month of July 2022, Greenidge produced approximately 287 bitcoin. As of July 31, 2022, Greenidge had approximately 2.7 EH/s of mining capacity from approximately 29,300 miners. Additionally, Greenidge had approximately 2,800 miners in transit as of July 31, 2022.

Pursuant to Greenidge's revised development plan, it now expects to have at least 3.6 EH/s of mining capacity by the first quarter of 2023 and expects mining capacity to remain at first quarter 2023 levels until it determines market conditions are attractive for additional growth. Greenidge expects to have ample mining infrastructure available at its locations in New York and South Carolina to accommodate this capacity and has substantially all of the mining infrastructure equipment on hand including the required transformers, switchgear, PDUs and mobile mining structures. The expected cost to procure the contractor services and any remaining infrastructure equipment required to develop Greenidge's mining infrastructure is less than
In the second quarter, Greenidge began to upgrade its fleet efficiency by reducing its inventory of older, less efficient mining equipment in order to free up mining capacity for newer, more efficient miners in its order book. Greenidge expects this trend to continue during the second half of 2022 and may also consider other asset sales, including but not limited to sales of surplus mining infrastructure equipment, to further enhance its liquidity position.
As further detailed in Greenidge's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed today, on August 10, 2022, B Riley Commercial Capital, LLC and Greenidge amended the terms of Greenidge's Secured Promissory Note by extending the maturity to June 2023, reducing scheduled monthly amortization payments and reducing certain mandatory prepayments.

Consistent with the intentions provided in its press release on June 30, 2022, Greenidge filed a notice with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYDEC") on July 28, 2022, requesting a hearing on the NYDEC's decision to deny Greenidge's application for a Title V Air Permit Renewal at its Dresden, NY facility. Greenidge is permitted to operate uninterrupted under a State Administrative Procedures Act extension, in full compliance with its existing Title V Air Permit, until four months after final resolution of the adjudicatory hearing. While no adjudicatory proceedings have been scheduled to date, Greenidge has been advised that, based on the progression of previous and ongoing cases of a similar nature, the appeals process may take a number of years to fully resolve.
Following a substantial drop in the price of bitcoin and a spike in energy prices in the second quarter, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, Greenidge undertook an impairment assessment pertaining to long-lived assets that resulted in a non-cash charge of
