Understanding Curtailment Notices

What is curtailment notice?

A curtailment notice is a status update that a site-wide reduction or pause in mining activity is scheduled or underway. Curtailment notifications are posted on the facility status page so miners can see when operations are being reduced because of a utility-directed event.

How are curtailment notices shared?

Curtailment notices are shared on the facility status page as soon as the information is received from the utility company. Notifications may be posted the day before the event or the day of the event.

Why might a miner show offline before a curtailment officially starts?

Miners are brought offline in advance because the load must be reduced gradually rather than all at once. As a result, a miner may appear offline slightly before the curtailment officially begins.
