ASIC Mining Glossary
Curtailment
Curtailment refers to electricity generation that is available but limited or left unused due to a lack of demand or grid capacity.
Energy and Heat
Why It Matters
Mining can be one way to turn this available energy into revenue, where the site allows it. See our ASIC hosting page for large-scale sites.
What to Watch For
Check the contract terms, infrastructure costs, and stability of the power supply. Model your case in the profitability calculator with your own electricity rate.
