Transform mining downtime into revenue opportunities.

Participate in demand response programs and avoid 4CP charges through intelligent curtailment strategies.

The Problem

High electricity costs hurt profitability

Mining operations consume massive amounts of power. During peak demand periods, electricity costs can spike dramatically, eating into mining profits.

4CP charges are unavoidable

Large mining facilities face significant transmission costs based on peak demand. Without warning systems, these charges can add millions to annual operating expenses.

Missing demand response revenue

Mining operations are ideal for demand response programs, but manual monitoring means missing most profitable curtailment opportunities.

What You Get

Demand Response Revenue

Automatically participate in ERCOT demand response programs. Get paid to reduce load during high-price periods.

4CP Avoidance

Get early warnings for peak transmission events. Avoid millions in annual 4CP charges through smart curtailment.

Strike Price Automation

Set custom price thresholds for automatic miner shutdown. Optimize when to mine versus when to curtail for maximum profit.

Mining Pool Integration

Coordinate with mining pool APIs for intelligent load management. Minimize disruption while maximizing curtailment opportunities.

Smart Mining Strategies

Demand Response Program

Alert: "Price exceeds $85/MWh strike price"
Action: "Shutdown 80% of mining rigs"
Revenue: "Paid for load reduction + avoid high electricity costs"

Set strike prices and automatically curtail mining operations when electricity prices make continued operation unprofitable. Typical earnings: $10-15K per MW curtailed.

4CP Event Avoidance

Alert: "4CP probability >85%"
Action: "Emergency shutdown to minimum load"
Savings: "Avoid $2.1M annual transmission charges"

Receive early warnings for ERCOT peak events. Temporarily shut down mining operations during the four highest system peak events to avoid massive transmission costs.

Mining Pool Coordination

Integration: "Pool API + WattMarkets alerts"
Strategy: "Priority shutdown of least efficient hardware"
Result: "Minimize hashrate loss during curtailment"

Coordinate with mining pool APIs to optimize which equipment to shut down first. Maintain essential operations while maximizing curtailment revenue.
