A load you can steer. Heat you can sell.

A mining container is the most flexible large load on any grid: it can switch a megawatt on or off in seconds, and every kilowatt it draws comes back out as heat: hot water from hydro and immersion units, warm air from air-cooled units. CubeApp controls both sides.

01 · Inflow · Power

Mine only when the grid wants you to.

CubeApp turns any external signal into a power target and hits it by starting or stopping miner groups. The logic runs on the edge server inside the container, so it keeps working without internet.

Surplus

Renewable overproduction

Wind or solar park producing more than the grid takes? The container absorbs the surplus and stops when production drops. Curtailment becomes revenue.

Grid signal

Balancing & curtailment

A grid operator or aggregator sends a setpoint. CubeApp translates “target 800 kW” into “5 of 10 groups” and confirms the new state within seconds.

Price

Spot-price threshold

Set your break-even $ / MWh. Below it the container mines, above it groups shut down. Day-ahead and intraday feeds supported.

Schedule

Tariff windows & manual

Night tariffs, contracted capacity, maintenance windows. Override anything from the portal with a confirmation and a reason.

How a signal becomes hashrate

Seconds, not minutes.

Miners are organised in groups. Rotation keeps runtime fair across groups; safety logic in the PLC always wins over any commercial signal.

01

Signal in

Setpoint, price or surplus reading arrives via API, PLC input or schedule.

02

Translate

CubeApp computes the group count that meets the target within the container’s limits.

03

Switch

Groups start or stop through smart PDUs and miner firmware. Progress: “18/32 confirmed”.

04

Prove

Every action logged with who, when, why. Metered consumption is your evidence to the grid operator.

02 · Outflow · Heat

Every kilowatt in comes out as heat.

Hydro and immersion containers return a hot-water loop of 50–65 °C; air-cooled containers deliver warm exhaust air that can be ducted to halls, drying rooms or greenhouses. A 40 ft hydro unit at 1.9 MW is a 1.9 MW boiler that pays you.

District

Heat networks

Homes, offices, public buildings. We supply the heat exchanger and interface to the network operator’s substation.

Agri

Greenhouses & farms

Greenhouse heating, fish farms, biogas digester optimisation. Steady base-load heat that follows your mining schedule.

Industry

Process heat

Hot water for industrial processes, drying of wood, fertiliser or biomass. Replace gas for low-temperature demand.

Leisure

Pools & spas

Swimming pools and wellness sites with constant heat demand. Quiet immersion units fit near populated areas.

03 · For energy suppliers

Put stranded capacity to work.

A container is placed where the energy is: at the plant, the park or the remote site. It starts small and scales per 40 ft unit, without data center construction.

Grid

Grid stabilisation

A flexible load that absorbs overproduction from renewables and drops off on command. Metered per machine.

Parks

Wind & solar parks

Energy that would be curtailed is converted on-site. Transformer and switchgear come with the container.

Remote

Remote & stranded gas

Off-grid sites and flare gas: containerised gas-to-power plus mining load, delivered as one system.
