Boilerplate

Irish Grid is an independent, data-driven project that tracks how much clean electricity the Republic of Ireland wastes through curtailment, what that costs billpayers, and how flexible, interruptible demand — including Bitcoin mining that runs only on otherwise-curtailed energy — could turn that waste into value. Irish Grid is not affiliated with EirGrid or SONI. All figures are built on public data with a fully published methodology.
