Javier Hermosa with Braiins at FREE Energy Summit 2026


⚡️ Última chamada
O FREE Energy Summit 2026 acontece já no dia 14 de maio, em Lisboa.
Um encontro focado em projetos reais na interseção entre energia e mineração de Bitcoin, apresentados por quem os está a implementar no terreno.
Num momento em que as redes elétricas europeias enfrentam uma pressão crescente e o desperdício de energia renovável aumenta, torna-se essencial encontrar novas formas de gerir essa energia. A mineração de Bitcoin já está a ser utilizada como uma solução prática.
Não se trata de teoria. São projetos reais, com dados reais e experiência operacional.

⚡️ Last Call
The FREE Energy Summit 2026 takes place on May 14th in Lisbon.
A focused gathering on real-world projects at the intersection of energy and Bitcoin mining, presented by those actively deploying them.
As European grids face increasing pressure and renewable curtailment rises, new ways to manage energy are becoming essential. Bitcoin mining is already being used as a practical solution.
This is not theory. Real projects, real data, real operational experience.

An alternative real-world, globally scalable, non-monetary use-case for bitcoin mining technology through participation in frequency regulation ancillary service markets for direct grid stabilization
Flexionics Energy AG has developed and operates 14MW of frequency regulation assets connected to the Swedish national grid.
Over the past 12 months, the group has delivered more than 11,000 activations, over 250 GWh of committed capacity, and over 30 GWh of real activation energy deliveries to maintain grid stability.
The company plans to triple its capacity in Sweden and expand across Europe to support grid stability, revive the wind sector in northern Scandinavia, reduce renewable curtailment, and accelerate the energy transition.

Balancing Europe's Grid - How Bitcoin Mining Unlocks Revenue Streams That AI Data Centers Leave on the Table
A flexibilidade da mineração de Bitcoin permite aceder a fontes de receita que centros de dados de AI, por serem cargas base, não conseguem capturar.
Esta sessão explora a forma como os mineradores na Alemanha e na Europa participam no equilíbrio dos mercados, rentabilizam a redução da produção de energia renovável, recuperam o calor residual para uso industrial e somam estas receitas às recompensas da mineração.
Com base em dados operacionais, Charlie mostra como os frameworks regulatórios moldam estas oportunidades e porque a mineração de Bitcoin está a tornar-se uma infraestrutura essencial para a rede elétrica europeia.

Balancing Europe's Grid - How Bitcoin Mining Unlocks Revenue Streams That AI Data Centers Leave on the Table
Bitcoin mining’s flexibility enables access to revenue streams that baseload AI data centers cannot capture.
This session explores how miners across Germany and Europe participate in balancing markets, monetise renewable curtailment, recover waste heat for industrial use, and stack these revenues on top of mining rewards.
Backed by operational data, Charlie shows how regulatory frameworks shape these opportunities and why Bitcoin mining is becoming essential grid infrastructure in Europe’s energy transition.
