Good point, the Danish wind power is partly made viable due to interconnection with the swedish grid and its hydro power, which can generate on demand to even out the production. We sometimes see the spot price go negative when there is an excess of wind. In those cases the optimal routing of energy is essentially going through as much wire as possible, to incur transmission losses. I don't think the excess energy should be used for crypto though, it would be better to pump water back up into the reservoirs.

- dcanelhas 5y agoI don't know what the case is in your part of the world but; "In Sweden, all nuclear power plants are currently operating in baseload, meaning they are constantly operating at their maximum rated thermal power and maximum rated electrical output."
