Bitdeer leases a former aluminum rolling mill building and surrounding land in the Hannibal Industrial Park from the Monroe County Port Authority. The lease took effect in February 2024 for a 10-year term with renewal options. Bitdeer first planned bitcoin mining in two phases. It paused that work in 2025 to court AI and HPC tenants, and it now plans the site for colocation or crypto mining.
AEP Ohio plans a short 138 kV line from its Hannibal substation to a new customer substation for the site, with service targeted for October 2027. In January 2026 American Heavy Plate Solutions, a neighboring tenant in the industrial park, sued to block the project under a covenant in its own lease. The case is in discovery.
