The company will deploy bitcoin miners to support energy optimization and grid balancing across Japan.
Canaan Inc. announced that it has been awarded a contract to supply bitcoin mining infrastructure with a total power capacity of 4.5 MW. The project includes the installation of Avalon A1566HA-488T liquid-cooled miners at one of Japan’s leading power distribution companies.
Implementation will take place in collaboration with a supplier specializing in electrical engineering solutions. The systems are expected to be fully operational by the end of 2025.
The miners feature smart, chip-based control systems capable of dynamically adjusting performance. Through feedback algorithms, these devices can increase or decrease operating speed by modifying frequency, voltage, and hashrate – compensating for load fluctuations and improving the overall reliability of the grid.
Nangeng Zhang, Chairman and CEO of Canaan, commented:
“As residential, AI compute, and high-density data centers place increasing pressure on national power systems, we are seeing rising demand for our energy-efficient, grid-interactive solutions across Asia, North America, and Europe.
The Japanese project builds on Canaan’s experience with a similar initiative launched in the Netherlands in 2024. The company plans to expand these installations throughout 2026, partnering with energy providers and data center operators worldwide.
