Crypto Power, the energy procurement company of Texas Energy Group (TEG) and LōD, the grid-aware energy intelligence platform, have announced a strategic alliance to serve the ERCOT market with smarter, more transparent energy solutions.

The new alliance combines LōD’s comprehensive automation and energy intelligence infrastructure with Crypto Power’s expertise in energy market development, energy procurement, and contract optimization. 

Kris Hertel, Vice President of Energy at TEG Energy Management, described the partnership as “a natural fit,” pointing to how each company complements the other’s strengths. “Crypto Power was built to lead in energy markets, and LōD’s software brings the real-time automation and uptime focus operators have been missing,” he said. “Together, we’re offering a vertically integrated stack, delivering visibility, speed, and smarter decisions across every kilowatt.”

Together, Crypto Power and LōD aim to empower flexible data centers, Bitcoin miners, and other energy-intensive consumers across Texas to add flexibility to their operations, cut costs, meet compliance requirements, and unlock revenue from demand response and grid balancing programs.

“This isn’t just about adding another service,” said Medi Naseri, CEO and Co-Founder at LōD. “It’s about solving the full equation.” He emphasized that Crypto Power is often the first call when new sites are being developed, which allows LōD to engage early in the process. “By getting involved before a facility even plugs in, we help clients understand their performance potential and start their energy optimization journey from day one,” he added.

ERCOT is changing quickly, and this alliance gives operators a trusted partner for energy strategy, infrastructure deployment, and real-time optimization.

The Strategic Alliance Offering Includes:

• Wholesale Power Procurement: Access wholesale energy markets and customized power purchase structures throughout ERCOT.
• Demand Response & Ancillary Services: Maximize revenue opportunities while minimizing downtime and protecting operations during grid events.
• Site Optimization & Energy Engineering: From substation design to power flow modeling, Crypto Power ensures your site is operating at peak efficiency.
• Regulatory Navigation & Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of shifting regulatory environments with expert guidance and strategic insight.
• Strategy Co-Optimization and AI-Powered Automation: Automate curtailment and optimize response to real-time grid signals, 4CP, and price signals with reactive and predictive models built by energy engineers.
• Real-time dashboards and Business Intelligence: Gain full visibility into site behavior, powered by the LōD IoT platform, which reads data from sensors, meters, fans, pumps, switches, and servers across the site.  

In an industry where margins are tight and timing is everything, the synergy between energy infrastructure and energy intelligence is the difference between average performance and industry leadership. 

Waylan Johnson, President at Crypto Power, called the alliance “a major step forward in our mission to serve miners with unmatched energy procurement and infrastructure strategy.” He explained that the partnership brings Crypto Power’s experience in power markets and LōD’s real-time operational intelligence. “Together, we’re unlocking a new era of efficiency and profitability for mining operators,” said Johnson, who also leads Power Infrastructure Partners at Texas Energy Group.

This partnership is more than just collaboration; it’s a strategic edge for serious operators.
