The strategic pipeline contract relates to supply of a critical input to our digital mining and hosting business. The Company has analyzed this strategic pipeline contract similar to a permit for future benefit. The strategic pipeline contract relates to potential renewable energy datacenters that fit in the alignment of the Company structure to expand operations of the Company’s new focus in their business.
As part of the Briscoe acquisition discussed in Note 5, the Company identified an above-market PPA with GSEC, which was initially executed February 24, 2023, as an identifiable intangible asset. The PPA provides for the sale of an increasing portion of the Briscoe Project’s energy output to GSEC, commencing at 25 MW and escalating toward full project capacity. The fair value assigned to the PPA intangible asset is $2.65 million, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated remaining useful life of 7 years, resulting in quarterly amortization expense of approximately $94 thousand.
The Company expects to record amortization expense of intangible assets over the next five years and thereafter as follows:
