Connell added:
Because our technology allows data center power consumption to move up and down with grid conditions, we are able to help stabilize the power grid and encourage the development of even more renewable generation. We believe Broad Reach’s vision and experience in how to manage dynamic energy storage resources will help support Lancium as we continue our work to advance the reliability and resiliency of the electric grid.
White House to Publish a PoW Report — Broad Reach Explains the Company ‘Understands the Importance of Responsive Generation and Load Resources’
The partnership between Lancium and Broad Reach follows the Biden administration’s interest in proof-of-work (PoW) mining operations. Costa Samaras, the principal assistant director for energy from the Office of Science and Technology Policies (OSTP), explained the White House plans to publish a report on the mining sector soon. “It’s important if this is going to be part of our financial system in any meaningful way, that it’s developed responsibly and minimizes total emissions. When we think about digital assets, it has to be a climate and energy conversation,” Samaras рекао.
