Join us as Charlene takes us on a tour of central Kenya, at Gridless’s Gitugu site. The Gitugu Hydro-Solar power plant is a solar and hydro mini-grid bitcoin mining site in the mountains of Kenya, 2 hours from Nairobi. Based in Kenya, Gridless acts as a buyer of last resort for energy produced by renewable mini-grid energy generators in rural areas like Gitugu. In turn, Gridless uses this excess energy to run Bitcoin mining operations onsite, thus generating revenue to pay for the excess energy and driving down the costs for the other users that draw power from the mini-grid. In this episode, Charlene speaks with Leah Adero, Operations Specialist, at Gridless, about the massive team effort required to execute the first Africa Bitcoin Mining Summit in Africa. Next, Charlene also speaks with Diviter Kerani, Engineering Tech at Gridless, who provides a brief technical overview of the Gitugu site.
