A miner is the most flexible load on the grid.
It can run wherever there is power, throttle within seconds, and turn electricity straight into value. BlokBlok Energy uses that flexibility to make energy worth more — and to stop good heat going to waste.
Mine where power is cheap
Sites follow the live electricity price and run hardest when power is cheap or in surplus — easing off the moment it costs more than it earns.
Reuse the heat
A miner is a heater that pays for itself. Instead of venting that heat outside, it is captured and put to work warming the building it sits in.
Soak up what's wasted
From solar peaks to surplus biogas, mining absorbs energy that would otherwise be spilled, curtailed or never generated at all.
Three ways to put power to work.
Each project takes the same idea — mining as a flexible energy offtaker — and applies it to a different kind of power.
Heat-reuse mining site
A continuously-monitored mining site built into a Norwegian warehouse. Immersion- and air-cooled miners feed their heat into the building's water loop, warming the space instead of venting it to the cold outside. The whole site tracks the Nordpool spot price — mining hard when power is cheap and curtailing automatically when it is not. The next stage looks at a dormant district-heating network nearby that could one day carry that heat to surrounding homes.
Off-grid solar miner
An off-grid mining rig in the UK that runs straight from solar panels — with no costly battery bank. Dump-load resistors track the panels' maximum power point in real time, so the miners draw exactly what the sun is giving at any light level, and ride out passing clouds without missing a beat.
AD power plant
Work with farmers and small-scale anaerobic-digester operators to use Bitcoin mining as an on-site energy offtaker — soaking up excess generation and improving the economics of biogas as slurry and methane rules tighten.
Built by hand, watched in real time.
Power distribution, custom air handling and heat capture — designed and installed from the ground up, then run from a live dashboard.
Founder-led, hands-on.
BlokBlok Energy is the work of Oscar Hoeltschi. What began as a crypto-mining hobby has turned into a full-time pursuit — researching and building mining that does more than mine: that recovers heat, follows the energy market, and finds value in power the grid cannot easily use.
Every site is designed, built and run hands-on — from the power wiring and the ductwork to the software that watches over it. It is an ambitious, practical take on what Bitcoin mining can be good for.
