Bitcoin mining operation: Is there a ratio between power consumption and bitcoins mined?

I know of a group who needs 10MW of continuous load for an operation.

Does anyone have a formula for expected, successful mined bitcoins per month based on the expected load?

That demand requirement won’t be cheap.

At that load, the hashing power must be huge to turn a profit.

hash rate and power consumption have no correlation since every ASIC uses different power draws and get different hash rates

I’m not sure that group understands how much power 10mw is and how much space it occupies in a data center. That’s a monthly bill they probably can’t afford.

To be honest, we just were approached by a Bitcoin mining company to build their new location and they gave us the exact same load. Everything is modular and comes to the site in essentially conex’s.

It’s a crazy price to pay but if they have backing why not I guess? That power and cooling comes at a steep price.
