what's Gridless?
Gridless is a Bitcoin mining company focused on deploying miners at renewable energy mini-grids in rural Africa, particularly in Kenya and Malawi. By acting as a buyer of last resort for stranded energy capacity, Gridless enables energy providers to achieve financial viability, improves grid stability, lowers power costs for local communities, and expands electrification. They utilize hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass sources, optimizing mining operations in real-time via their Gridless OS platform on edge servers. The model shares Bitcoin mining revenue with energy partners, incentivizing new grid development. Starting with small sites under 100kW and scaling to 500kW+, Gridless has operational sites powering thousands of households while decentralizing the Bitcoin network through off-grid, clean energy hashrate.
