🌊⛏️ I had the awesome chance to visit a 50KW Bitcoin mining site in Gunma, Japan, operated by Agile Energy X, a subsidiary of TEPCO Power Grid. Big thanks to the team at OCEAN (npub1qtv…7dze) who I tagged along with!
The site is operated by TEPCO Renewable & Power utilising 50KW of solar that would otherwise be wasted as the site is currently awaiting grid upgrade and connection.
I think this is a big step forward for broader engagement with power generators about how Bitcoin can help the grid and for understanding the opportunity to participate in this new monetary network.
There is a lot that we can learn from the power of Bitcoin mining to act as both a load balancing and grid stabilisation tool, as well as helping with the ROI and financial planning of new generation assets.
