French senators have put up a plan to start a five-year trial scheme that would let people mine Bitcoin with extra power.

The proposal, which was officially presented on July 11, aims to improve the country's energy infrastructure and find new ways to grow the economy via the crypto asset ecosystem.

The plan stresses that mining activities might help stabilize the national grid, particularly when there is too much electricity being produced.

Making Extra Power Useful for the Economy

The bill's main goal is to use controlled and carbon-free power from nuclear and renewable sources. Lawmakers say that extra energy frequently goes to waste since there isn't enough storage space and rules that say nuclear facilities have to cut down on production when renewable power is at its highest.

They say that using this extra energy for Bitcoin mining might help producers lose less money and ease the stress on nuclear plants that comes from having to change the amount of electricity they generate all the time.

The law says that data centers will be built near places where power is generated, including old factories or industrial zones, so that extra energy may be used for mining operations more effectively.

Lawmakers say that this decentralized infrastructure would help keep mining demand limited and under control, which would protect the larger electricity system from being too busy.

They also say that these kinds of facilities wouldn't compete with current energy needs; instead, they would be flexible energy sinks that only turn on when there is too much supply.

According to the Association for the Development of Digital Assets (ADAN), the plan says that giving mining only one gigawatt of electricity may bring in between $100 million and $150 million a year.

This money would provide energy producers a new way to make money and might make France a strong participant in the larger crypto market.

The law also says that heat exchangers might be used to absorb the waste heat from mining gear and send it to useful places, such heating homes, greenhouses, or helping with industrial activities.

Nordic examples show how to model energy efficiency.

The plan points out that Iceland, Norway, and Sweden are already using comparable energy-reuse tactics. For example, mining enterprises in those countries use geothermal or hydroelectric power and provide extra heat to local infrastructure.

French politicians said that copying these kinds of models might help the country reach its economic and environmental objectives. France could get the most out of its energy by moving mines closer to energy centers and using waste heat in new ways. This would also help technology go forward.

Even if the idea hasn't become legislation yet, it shows that governments are starting to see Bitcoin mining as more than just a high-energy operation. They see it as a possible way to control the grid and help the economy grow.

If France's trial project is successful, it might show how to provide more electricity to blockchain infrastructure without affecting regular power demands. As the idea goes through the parliamentary process, further changes are likely to happen.
