Locations

The UK first, and then worldwide.

In Motion Mining is looking for sites in the UK first, and around the world. This page sets out what a UK site needs, and how the wider search fits.

Why the UK comes first

The search starts in the United Kingdom. A mining hall needs a power supply and a way to reject heat. In the UK that means surplus renewable electricity, a connection the network can support, and planning permission.

Those questions are answered site by site. A suitable plot, a willing power partner, and a grid connection are still matters for each location.

Sites in the UK

A site in the United Kingdom is where the search starts. It needs surplus renewable electricity, a connection that the network can support, and planning permission. The sustainability page explains what we mean by surplus power, and what we will not claim about carbon.

What comes next

  1. Agree a site and a power route, and name them only with the consent of the people involved.
  2. Apply for the permits that project needs, and say which permit it is once an application exists.
  3. Secure a grid connection.
  4. Build the hall and install machines.

The operation page covers how a hall is designed, and the sustainability page covers the energy limits.
