Tokyo-based Agile Energy X is testing<\/a><\/strong> the use of surplus solar energy to fuel Bitcoin<\/a><\/strong> mining operations. The company\u2019s president, Kenji Tateiwa, noted that success in this endeavor could lead to increased adoption of green energy, as reported by Asahi Shimbun on September 8.<\/p>\n

The initiative draws inspiration from Japan\u2019s \u201coutput control\u201d practices, which involve intentionally limiting renewable energy production to manage supply and demand or to meet transmission constraints.<\/p>\n

Agile Energy X has set up mining rigs near solar farms in Gunma and Tochigi prefectures to capture and use otherwise wasted energy.<\/p>\n
