Don't forget it's not just the wattage you need to account for, it's the current you're planning to pull. 40Kw is the equivalent of about 166A, so you'll need to make sure you have multiple power feeds from your circuit breakers. Also, I'm not sure the max amount you can pull for residential properties. Standard is probably about 100A max, more than that you'll need to get the power company in to make some upgrades.

I'm at home with solar panels (3.6kW peak rated) so I'll frequently have a 1 to 2 kW surplus here. If anyone wanted to "rent a shelf" with electricity pricing in bitcoins and managed hosting shelf rent at 5% of BTC output of your rig then write here.

It is not bulk buy industrial 1000kWh per day; more like 1 to 2 kW priced in bitcoin.

I was GPU mining last summer, which suited the power surplus here quite well. I could follow sensible instructions to either mine to one of your accounts or mine to one of mine and pass on BTC daily.

Rent an industrial unit on an industrial site the power should be cheaper than home users pay.

Global Warming levy is equivalent to Cap & Trade IMHO! Designed to handy cap our productive output.

Best to move your operation outside the EU to Iceland where energy is half the price really! Wink

Hi All:

I am going to be building and running a a farm of rigs and will be using a lot of electricity.

Approx 40 kilowatts Undecided

I don't suppose anyone knows if it is possible to bulk buy electricity?

I'm paying 11.5 pence per kwh.

Thanks
