One thing to be mindful of is that often crypto miners end up building out smaller facilities near wind/solar farms so they can buy the energy not being delivered to the grid. It's not uncommon for there to be a new green energy deployment that can produce X megawatts but the existing transmission lines can not handle that full load, so they deliver a smaller amount to the grid and sell the rest to whoever is nearby.
Should they upgrade the transmission lines? Yes, but it's expensive and takes time.
Without the crypto miners signing bulk energy customer contracts committing to Z megawatts of usage many of these green energy deployments would never happen because the accounting doesn't work.
