Scaling Precision: How Bitfarms Optimized Multi-Site Operations and Energy Strategy with LōD

Bitfarms is a publicly traded Bitcoin mining and energy infrastructure company operating 460 megawatts across North and South America, including sites in Quebec, the U.S., Paraguay, and Argentina.

As global operations expanded, managing energy participation, curtailment, and compliance across 15+ data centers became increasingly complex.

When Alex Brammer, VP of Global Data Center Operations, joined Bitfarms, he saw a chance to unify these systems under one goal: smarter automation and better energy economics.

“There are so many ways to apply LōD’s automation.
It’s not just for curtailment, it drives uptime, compliance, and performance across every part of our operation.
The team’s speed and collaboration, especially across multiple vendors and jurisdictions, have been world-class.”

Bitfarms had built its own proprietary miner management software, it was powerful, but limited when it came to automation depth and energy market integration.

The challenge:

• Manual curtailment processes that risked overreaction or missed events.
• Lack of synchronization between miners, PDUs, and energy providers.
• No real-time validation of coincidental peaks or demand response triggers.

Operating across deregulated markets like PJM, Bitfarms needed a platform that could combine automation, orchestration, and forecasting without losing control or uptime.

Bitfarms partnered with LōD to bring real-time intelligence to every layer of its infrastructure.

Using LōD RAILS automation, the team integrated miner control, PDUs, and cooling systems into a single orchestration layer.

The results came fast:

• Automated down and up ramps for curtailment events
• Tightened ramp windows from 20 minutes to 7 minutes
• Improved precision for coincidental peak avoidance and economic demand response

Beyond performance, LōD’s custom development speed and vendor collaboration allowed Bitfarms to adapt the platform for each jurisdiction and energy program (without disrupting operations).

• ‍Curtailment ramp times reduced by 65%  (from 20 to 7 minutes)
• ‍Automated energy participation in PJM programs
• ‍Improved uptime and reduced manual headcount for site operations
• ‍Faster, data-driven decisions during demand response events

Bitfarms gained precision, control, and speed across 15 sites, proving that real energy intelligence can scale globally.
