Crypto miners are looking to use Brazil’s clean energy surplus without putting a strain on the grid.

Summary
  • Crypto miners are looking to exploit the overabundant clean energy in Brazil
  • Tether is among the companies that are looking to leverage surplus power
  • Brazil is experiencing a glut of solar and wind power due to subsidies

Crypto mining might solve a peculiar problem with renewable energy. Mining firms are negotiating contracts with Brazilian power companies, looking to exploit the oversupply of clean energy, according to a September 30 report by Reuters.

At least six crypto mining firms are now negotiating contracts to use a portion of Brazil’s abundant green energy for crypto mining. For instance, renewable energy supplier Renova is investing in a $200 million mining project in Brazil’s northeast. This project will feature six data centers powered by a wind farm.

Crypto mining works well with green energy

Brazil has made a big push in renewable energy. However, wind and solar energy have the disadvantage that their peak production often does not track demand. On the other hand, crypto miners can scale their operations at will, benefiting from cheap energy. At the same time, they can scale back when energy demand is high.

Brazil’s oversupply of green energy comes from years of government subsidies in wind and solar power. However, in some areas, this has led to oversupply, and some energy facilities now waste 70% of the energy they generate.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
