Your next mine starts with the right site.
Low-cost energy sourcing for Bitcoin mining, specializing in landfill and stranded gas. We research potential sites across the United States, prioritizing usable infrastructure, a credible supply opportunity and a fit with your upfront budget.
For mining companies, hosting operators and independent miners.
Landfill gas · Stranded / flare gas · Other sources to your briefA scoped search around your usable power, location and upfront budget. Compare new candidates, the remaining work and the evidence behind each one.
Bring a lead from an owner, broker or your own research. We assess that specific opportunity against your requirements.
Offer a site for sale, lease or energy supply—or introduce someone who controls it. A Proton development partnership is optional.
We agree the scope, deliverables, timing, fees and any refinement before work begins. A search with no suitable matches includes the findings and rejection reasons agreed in that scope.
Start with our landfill and stranded gas specialty. Explore other energy routes when they fit your mine, then see how infrastructure, contact paths and open questions come together in a researched shortlist.

Open the client workspace ↗The source explorer starts with our specialty and keeps every energy route available to explore. Real public-research examples from a landfill search are in the researched-shortlist view. Other energy sources are researched to your brief when there is a relevant opportunity; this preview is not a list of available power offers.
A geographic shortlist with city and state context.
Infrastructure, energy access and unpriced work.
Named contacts, source links and the questions to ask.
Compare the opportunity and the work required to make it usable, with source dates and open questions beside the estimates.
Compare location, permitted energy sources and net MW potentially available after existing commitments. Screen all-in delivered cost, uptime, curtailment, seasonal limits, fuel quality and the steps to energization.
Available evidence on gas collection, generation, electrical equipment, site access and buildings. Identify what may be reusable and what still needs inspection or owner confirmation.
Separate existing assets from new construction, upgrades and connection work. Identify who would fund each item, preliminary cost ranges, their assumptions and work that has not yet been priced.
Relevant owner and operator contact routes, commercial questions and a plan for further diligence. We can help coordinate introductions where the parties agree.
If upfront capital is the constraint, we prioritize sites with infrastructure that may be reusable. Equipment on a site only reduces your budget when ownership, access, condition and usable capacity support that assumption.
Our sourcing centers on landfill and stranded gas. Operating hydro and already powered sites can enter a search when they fit your needs; other sources receive dedicated research when a client brief or a strong site-specific lead justifies it.
Methane from decomposing landfill waste.
Gas with limited access to buyers.
Electricity generated by flowing water.
Electrical infrastructure already in place.
Wind, sunlight and underground heat.
Nuclear and conventional electricity generation.
Organic material and recovered heat.
Stored power paired with other sources.
Your source and location preferences define the agreed scope. A catalog entry alone does not earn a place in your shortlist: it needs relevant evidence and a fit with your operation. Industrial surplus, grid supply and marine resources can also be considered. Supply, access and prices require site-specific confirmation.
Generation capacity, output and power available to a new customer are different measures. We check source-specific constraints against EIA guidance, DOE hydropower guidance and DOE large-load rate research. Every potential site still needs its own owner, technical and commercial checks.
Set your location, usable MW, allowed sources, delivered cost target, operating flexibility, timeline and capital limit. We agree the search scope, deliverables and fees before work begins.
Review your shortlist in Proton Energy Sites: map locations, compare infrastructure, check the evidence and identify the capital still to scope.
Use the contact routes and questions provided to test owner interest. We can help coordinate introductions and further diligence within the agreed scope.
Public records can identify a lead. They do not establish spare power, access rights or a site for sale. We distinguish reported facts, estimates and owner-confirmed information, and show missing evidence alongside the comparison. Coverage depends on the source and record date; no search establishes that every U.S. opportunity is known. A site is secured only when the required agreements are in place.
Start with your U.S. location and usable power target. Our specialty guides the search; you decide whether to consider any energy source or limit it to selected routes.

We specialize in landfill and stranded gas, including flare sites. We also research operating hydro, already powered sites and other sources when your requirements or a strong site-specific lead justify it. You can request nuclear, wind, solar, geothermal, natural gas generation, biomass or biogas, waste-to-energy, coal, oil, industrial surplus, grid supply and other arrangements. We agree the scope before starting; every source selection remains yours.
We look for a fit with your location, usable MW, operating hours, delivered-cost target and construction budget, supported by dated evidence. Collection, generation and electrical equipment are useful only if they can be used by your project. Public records alone do not establish owner interest or an available power offer.
We quote the research scope before work begins, based on your region, power requirement and depth of diligence. The scope identifies the deliverables, fee and any further work requiring separate agreement. If no site fits, you receive the findings and rejection reasons agreed in that scope.
The paid service delivers scoped research and a shortlist. Low delivered cost is a search target; we do not guarantee a rate, the lowest market price or a supply agreement. Site owners or energy rights holders must confirm willingness, net available power, terms and access. Construction funding, including any owner contribution, requires separate agreement.
No. Site sourcing is available for your own mining or hosting operation. For machines purchased from Proton, our hosting service is a separate option.
A shortlist may include opportunities identified from public records and research. We state the confirmation level for each one. Owner interest, energy availability, access and commercial terms must be checked before you rely on a site.
No. A power plant, substation, gas system or industrial connection may still need upgrades, access agreements and mining equipment. We separate assets reported on site from assets you can actually use, then identify the remaining work. Reuse depends on ownership, equipment condition and usable capacity.
Search fees and deliverables are agreed for your brief before work starts. Preliminary capital ranges separate priced work from unresolved items; engineering, inspections and supplier quotes are needed to establish a build budget. Hardware, land and transaction costs are identified separately where relevant.
