Digital Power Optimization, Inc.
Digital Power Optimization (DPO) is a New York-based energy services company that builds and operates 'power-first' flexible data centers at renewable power plants. Its on-site data centers - running bitcoin mining and AI workloads - consume electricity only when it is curtailed, wasted, or undervalued, then curtail during peak demand so power can be sold back to the grid. The model lets hydro, wind, and other generators capture over $100/MWh from otherwise stranded power while helping stabilize the grid.
Unblock
Unblock builds and operates mobile, modular data centers that plug directly into wasted energy - gas that would otherwise be flared at oil wells, methane venting off landfills, and renewable power that gets curtailed for lack of grid capacity. By converting that stranded energy into computing power on-site, the company turns an environmental liability into revenue for energy producers while cutting emissions. Founded in 2021 and led by CEO Tomas Ocampo, Unblock has scaled to roughly 15 MW of deployed capacity across Latin America, claims the world's second-largest computing fleet at oil-field facilities, and eliminates an estimated 142,000 tons of CO2 equivalent annually.
