Japanese Energy Company Has Taken Action for Crypto Mining! One of Japan’s largest utility companies, Tokyo Electric Power Grid (TEPCO), is working with local mining producers TRIPLE-1 to get more electricity into its grid. .
In September, TEPCO established a subsidiary called Agile Energy X with the aim of creating digital value from valuable electricity, including through cryptocurrency mining. TEPCO and Agile Energy X have signed an agreement with TRIPLE-1 to build a nationwide distributed data center using renewable energy and TRIPLE-1 semiconductors.
The purpose of this project is to put excess power to good use by creating new demand for crypto mining and artificial intelligence. The group has set up a demonstration project in Tokyo, a 1.5 megawatt (MW) data center with 1,300 computers.
