Andover, MA — July 14, 2026 — Enel North America, a leading clean energy company and demand response provider, and Braiins, the global leader in bitcoin mining software and infrastructure, today announced the launch of Mining Energy Intelligence to expand demand response capabilities across key U.S. power markets. Mining Energy Intelligence is an integrated energy optimization offering tailored specifically for bitcoin mining operations, with fixed SaaS pricing built into the partnership model. It combines Braiins’ mining software stack with Enel’s demand response market access and expertise to help miners automate curtailment, avoid costly peaks, and unlock new revenue streams.

Through this partnership, Braiins will integrate Enel North America’s demand response platform into select hosted and self-managed mining operations. By dynamically adjusting electricity consumption during periods of peak demand or grid stress, Mining Energy Intelligence enables participating bitcoin mining facilities to help relieve congestion, stabilize the grid, and enable greater integration of renewable energy sources.

Bitcoin mining operations, powered by Braiins’ proprietary software stack including Braiins OS, Braiins Manager and Braiins Pool, are uniquely suited for demand response participation due to their ability to rapidly scale electricity use up or down without impacting critical services. This flexibility makes them ideal partners for programs that require fast, reliable load adjustments.

“The Braiins mining stack does more than turn devices on and off. It continuously optimizes operations around grid conditions, energy price, bitcoin price, and mining difficulty, helping customers increase profitability while protecting fleet longevity with firmware features like Dynamic Performance Scaling (DPS).”
- Will Baxter, Chief Commercial Officer at Braiins 

Mining Energy Intelligence will initially be available in PJM and ERCOT - energy markets with high renewable penetration and constrained grid capacity, where demand response plays a critical role in balancing supply and demand, as well as enabling better utilization of existing grid infrastructure. Bitcoin mining facilities who participate will receive financial compensation for reducing load during peak events, creating an additional revenue stream while lowering overall system costs.

This partnership offers value to the grid and to participants:

• Enhanced grid reliability: Rapid load reductions help prevent outages and reduce stress during peak demand periods.
• Increased renewable integration: Flexible demand supports the efficient use of intermittent resources like wind and solar.
• Higher earnings per exahash: Optimized miner efficiency and fleet management, paired with a market-aware energy strategy and Enel’s best-in-class access to revenue-generating demand response programs.
• Automated load curtailment: Enel aggregates mining capacity and Braiins automatically executes curtailment through a single integration, enabling faster response times and more predictable demand response participation.
• Fixed SaaS pricing: Predictable commercial terms help miners plan costs upfront while preserving the operational upside of demand response participation.

The collaboration reflects a growing trend of integrating large-scale, flexible loads into grid management strategies, transforming energy-intensive industries into active participants in the clean energy ecosystem.
