gridflexibility

$BTC Former Binance CEO CZ said the UAE builds extra power to cover just three days of peak demand each year.
That makes Bitcoin mining the buyer of last resort for energy that would otherwise go unused.

Miners curtailed 888 GWh in 2023, proving they can switch off when grids are stressed.
Mining happens where power is cheap, excess, or stranded, and the question for 2026 isn’t whether surplus can be mined —
it’s whether miners can hold their ground as AI and high-performance computing push up prices for firm power.
The fight isn’t Bitcoin vs energy — it’s who gets access to good electrons.
