Engie is exploring the installation of storage systems or bitcoin mining data centers at its Assu solar plant in Brazil to enhance profitability and mitigate curtailments affecting energy production. The 895 MWp facility began full operations in February 2026 but has faced reduced output due to grid balancing issues, which have led to significant financial losses for energy companies. Engie aims to create local demand through these initiatives, though implementation is expected to take several years.
