Good thread here from a trusted energy researcher on how crypto mining companies can avoid the cost of new power plants by implementing flexible loads — essentially turning operations off at certain times when the grid is overburdened. 

Curious what those of you in the industry think

The cryptocurrency sector has responded enthusiastically to our study. The constructive engagement is appreciated, and at the same time, it's important to clarify a few key points made in this latest media coverage. 🧵https://t.co/Qc9CyslhD0 https://t.co/saH8tSiFQB

This is literally what my company is doing ! But with integrated solar and energy storage so you can have islanding capabilities, grid connection to participate in DR, and can arbitrage based on preference (cost, grid “cleanliness”, etc)

I went to duke.

That’s awesome. Did you see Tyler’s big study at Duke on data centers from February?

Oh no I didn’t - I should clarify we aren’t doing this specifically (ie targering crypto mining) but more so applying adaptive load management to help stay resilient
