Curtailment Updates
Official utility curtailment notices for Rax hosting sites. Review scheduled and mandatory power curtailments affecting operations.
Recent Curtailment Notices
Utility curtailments are a standard part of operating grid-connected hosting infrastructure. When the regional power grid operator or local utility requests a temporary reduction in load, hosted operations pause and resume once the curtailment is lifted. Below are the most recent notices, listed newest first.
Important Notification: Potential Utility Curtailments Due to Extreme Heat (Nebraska Site) 9-3-2026
We would like to inform you that the Nebraska Site is expected to experience extremely high temperatures over the next five days.
Due to the increased power demand associated with these conditions, we have been advised to expect mandatory curtailments from the utility provider during peak demand periods.
As these curtailments are utility-directed, they are outside of Rax operational control. Our team will closely monitor the situation and restore mining operations as soon as the utility permits following each curtailment period.
Please expect intermittent downtime over the next five days. We will continue to keep you updated on any significant developments.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Mandatory Utility Curtailment Notice
We would like to inform all hosted mining clients of a mandatory utility curtailment scheduled at our Nebraska hosting site on July 25, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM CST. During this period, all hosted machines at the site will be temporarily taken offline in compliance with the utility's curtailment request.

What Is a Utility Curtailment?
A utility curtailment is a request from the regional power grid operator or local utility for large electricity consumers to temporarily reduce their load during periods of peak demand. These events are part of demand-response programs that help maintain grid stability, particularly during extreme weather or when generation capacity is tight.
Curtailment participation is a standard part of operating large-scale computing and mining facilities. Many hosting agreements include curtailment provisions because they benefit both the grid and the operation.
How This Benefits Our Clients
Participating in demand-response and curtailment programs provides tangible advantages for hosted mining operations:
- Reduced electricity rates. Utilities offer lower base rates to customers who agree to participate in curtailment events, directly lowering operating costs for your miners.
- Grid reliability. By cooperating with curtailment requests, we maintain a strong relationship with our utility provider, ensuring continued access to competitive power rates and reliable service.
- Regulatory compliance. Voluntary participation in demand-response programs demonstrates responsible energy use, which supports favorable regulatory treatment for the mining industry as a whole.
What to Expect
- Downtime window: July 25, 2026, 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM CST (approximately 1 hour).
- Affected equipment: All hosted machines at the Nebraska site.
- Automatic restart: Machines will power back on and resume mining automatically when the curtailment period ends.
- Hashrate impact: You may see a temporary dip in reported hashrate during the curtailment window on your pool dashboard. This is expected and will recover fully after restart.
Questions or Concerns?
If you have any questions about this curtailment event or your hosting agreement, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, and we will keep you informed of any changes to the schedule.
We appreciate your continued trust in Rax as your hosting partner.
