Professional ASIC Miner Hosting at a Competitive $0.065/kWh
Built for small miners and growing fleets. Data-driven load management, transparent pricing, and a professional hosting environment in Southern Illinois.
Missed curtailment events will increase the effective rate by $0.015/kWh (total $0.08/kWh) for the billing month due to transmission and capacity adjustments. On average, we experience approximately one missed curtailment per year.
Data-Driven Curtailment Strategy
Our strategy leverages proprietary historical grid analytics and localized weather modeling to predict peak demand windows and optimize load reduction timing. This disciplined approach has limited peak exposure to approximately one missed event per year on average since inception.
What is Curtailment?
Curtailment is a temporary, grid-requested power reduction during peak demand periods. By participating, we help stabilize the regional power grid and maintain lower transmission and capacity costs — keeping your hosting rate competitive.
