How do people remind themselves to buy post it notes?

Why it matters beyond Bitcoin: curtailment rises as wind build-out outpaces the grid. EirGrid has said surplus renewable generation could exceed 20% of available capacity by 2030 absent further flexibility.

Flexible demand is one lever, alongside storage and interconnection. It also runs into private wires, grid access, and how renewable support schemes are designed.

We've just published this in Energy Economics:

Sarnecki, M. & Burke, N. (2026). "Bitcoin Mining as Supply-Side Flexibility in Irish Wind Energy Integration"

In 2024, EirGrid dispatched down 10.1% of Ireland's available wind. In 2025, 11.4%. That is clean power we could have generated but were not able to use.

Can a co-located Bitcoin miner turn some of it into revenue?

@businessposthq A very serious slump indeed

That #Bitcoin bubble lasted all of a few days. Last price $518 - down about $400 since Monday! Serves you right if you take it seriously.

@SocDems I joined socdems because I have no understanding of economics, I am envious of successful people who work hard, think Ireland is a magic money tree, and I have a fleeting grasp on reality.
