Power companies are looking at Bitcoin mining to expand their performance. Agile Energy X, a subsidiary of Japan's 4th largest power company TEPCO, is experimenting with offsetting output power oversupply issues. By incorporating Bitcoin mining, they can prevent the waste of energy.

Energy producers have to control their output via various methods including using up energy when they produce a surplus. Agile Energy X conducted simulations which if implemented would convert the surplus of wasted energy into bitcoin mining which could produce profits in the billions of dollars per year stabilizing the company and expanding revenue.
Bitcoin not only converts your energy into a store of value (money), but Bitcoin can stabilize the world's power by reallocating its usage. The productive use of excess energy, not only incentivizes companies to make better use of their surplus energy, but also appeals to renewable energy supporters as this energy efficiency would likely lead to more green energy to be introduced.
The additional miners and nodes coming online not only rebalances the world's wasted energy, but further secures and reinforces the stability of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is no longer only a digital monetary protocol, but can now be reconsidered as a digital power protocol.
