Monetizing Wasted Energy at Scale Using Bitcoin Mining

The UK loses enough energy to power the entire city of London, all year, every year due to ineffective incentive schemes, pressure to decarbonize and, most importantly, severe curtailment of wind energy due to grid constraints. This is a problem that's going to get much worse over the next five years and everyday consumers are increasingly footing the bill through extremely high energy prices. In fact, the UK now has some of the highest energy costs in the world.

These factors mean that mining in any traditional sense does not work in the UK. However, RenewaBlox has found a way to simultaneously mine profitably and provide meaningful long term solutions to some of these problems from local to grid level. Find out how they're doing it and what lessons can be bought to other grids around the world. No watt wasted!
