Background
The Modesto Maranzana power station is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OSHAS 18001 and Integrated Management System certified.[11] In 2008, 2010, and 2017 the plant was expanded with an additional expansion proposed but plans for the timeline of the latest expansion had not been confirmed.[11]
In November 2021, Bitfarms announced a partnership with Modesto Maranzana in which excess energy from the private plant will be used to mine bitcoins.[12][13]
