Proponents of Bitcoin argue that demand for electricity from Bitcoin miners can lead to an increase in renewable … electricity capacity. We rigorously evaluate this claim by estimating a Bitcoin electricity demand curve and include this demand … curve in a long-run model of the Texas electricity market. We find that while Bitcoin mining can indeed increase renewable …
