Mining Energy Intelligence
in partnership with Braiins
Turn your mining load flexibility into revenue. Mining Energy Intelligence automates curtailment and demand response participation, so your miners can capture value around the clock.
Mine Smarter
Smart energy solutions, built for bitcoin mining
Most miners optimize hashrate. Few miners optimize the energy cost curve around it. That’s why Enel has partnered with Braiins, a global leader in bitcoin mining software and infrastructure, to offer Mining Energy Intelligence, an integrated energy optimization subscription tailored specifically for mining operations.
Mining Energy Intelligence optimizes mining loads – automatically. Maximize value in real time by dynamically responding to hashrate and bitcoin price changes, while automatically allocating remaining hours across price optimization, coincident peak avoidance, and demand response – through fewer contracts and integration points.
Demand response revenue
Earn payments for being flexible with your operations. Enel bids your flexible MW into demand response markets, like ECRS in ERCOT and Synchronized Reserves in PJM.
Coincident peak avoidance
Protect your margins by automatically curtailing load during forecasted system peaks to avoid steep transmission charges that can run tens of thousands of dollars.
Peak price avoidance
Easily track Day-Ahead Market (DAM) and Real-Time Market (RTM) prices and automatically curtail your equipment before a price spike wipes out your margins.
Estimated Annual Revenue Impact
Save on peaks, earn from demand response
Estimated annual impact per MW based on ERCOT market data. Coincident peak avoidance estimates assume industry-standard forecasting accuracy and ~130 hours of annual curtailment. Demand response revenue based on ECRS historical averages. Peak price avoidance varies by miner efficiency.
Benefits
Offering value to the grid and to mining operations
Higher earnings per exahash
Optimized miner efficiency and fleet management is 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 demand response participation.
Fixed SaaS Pricing
Pay a flat fee, keep 100% of the upside. Predictable commercial terms help you plan costs, while energy cost savings and demand response earnings flow straight to your operations.
Support a more reliable grid
Rapid load reductions help prevent outages and reduce system stress during peak demand periods.
Increased renewable penetration
Flexible demand supports the efficient use of intermittent resources like wind and solar.
How It Works
One integration, two industry leaders
Enel brings more than 2 decades of experience as a demand response leader in North America, aggregating more than 4.8 GW of demand response capacity across more than 11,400 sites throughout the United States and Canada. Through our partnership with Braiins, our team manages market participation – from clearing to real-time event dispatch – on your behalf.
Braiins has powered bitcoin mining since 2010, with more than 3 GW on Braiins OS and more than 450 MW under managed load. With this collaboration, their Brains Manager software continually optimizes your mining fleet and dynamically responds to energy market signals from Enel.

Automatically curtails unprofitable miners and resumes mining when it pays to
Regional Availability
Serving ERCOT and PJM
Mining Energy Intelligence currently supports mining operations in PJM and ERCOT, two of North America’s most dynamic energy markets. In these regions, demand response is playing an increasingly critical role in balancing supply and demand while enabling better utilization of existing grid infrastructure. By participating, your mining operations not only unlock new value streams but also contribute to a more reliable, resilient grid.
