[Report: Japanese power giant Tokyo Electric Power explores "green" Bitcoin mining] Golden Finance reported that according to the Japanese media Asahi Shimbun on September 8, Agile Energy, a subsidiary of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), is entering Bitcoin mining, and the company's president Kenji Tateiwa claimed that the company's success "will lead to the introduction of more green energy." The company installed mining machines near solar power plants in Gunma and Tochigi prefectures near Tokyo to capture and utilize potential wasted energy. He added that the concept was inspired by Japan's "output control" practice, which sometimes limits the production of renewable energy-deliberately cutting production to levels below what can be produced to balance supply and demand or to align with transmission restrictions.
