The first phase of the Volcano Energy project includes the construction of a 241-megawatt renewable energy park in Metapán. There are plans for a 169-megawatt solar park and a 72-megawatt wind turbine. Lavapool is the result of a partnership with Luxor Technology. Volcano Energy is leveraging Luxor's experience in providing Bitcoin mining software and services.
As a public-private partnership, Volcano Energy will donate 23 percent of its net mining revenues to the government of El Salvador. Also invested in the project: stablecoin issuer Tether. The company announced in June 2023 that it would invest about $1 billion to build Volcano Energy.
