A visualization in 15s resolution and a time span of about 18 months, plotted on a 24-hour day, of the grid demand on our Zambia community site. (Not shown is the generation line ~500-700kW. Everything between that generation line and above the dark blue is usable by bitcoin mining)

I was asked how "How is there left over energy if AI is in the stack?" and how it is all managed.
