Medicine Hat says Hut 8 deal won’t raise power rates
City officials and utilities say a Hut 8 Mining contract to buy up to 42 megawatts for a data processing centre will not increase residential rates or affect how prices are set. The deal makes Hut 8 the city's largest customer, five times larger than next biggest, but officials say demand does not drive local pricing and there is enough power for all customers.
