2018
The idea was born
In 2018, after finishing his job as a gas wholesale expert, Daniel Jogg came up with a grand vision. He believed that by connecting industrial-scale Bitcoin mining data centers directly to power plants, it could benefit the power generation sector with flexibility and an alternative hedge against electricity exchanges. Daniel's idea was to leverage the excess energy capacities of power plants to power the mining data centers, providing a way to monetize this excess energy while also tapping into the growing demand for computing power. He began by modeling the operation in his own living room, testing and refining the technical and business aspects of the concept.
2019-2020
Execution has begun
Daniel's brother, Balazs, has joined him in his energy tech startup, bringing with him engineering and project execution experience. Together, they were able to secure $500k in angel investment that was used to build a data center prototype.

Successful integration into vpp
Enerhash's first project was with E.ON, one of the biggest energy companies in Europe. E.ON integrated Enerhash DATABOX-es as a flexible power consumer into their virtual power plant portfolio, which improved their portfolio's gradient on a level never before seen in the industry. This milestone marked the first highly integrated connection between a large energy company and bitcoin mining infrastructure, demonstrating how other energy generation benefits beyond just powering servers at low costs can be leveraged. The partnership with E.ON was a significant achievement, and helped establish us as a first mover in the industry.
