What happens to a solar and battery farm when crypto has a bad month?
Nothing. It keeps selling electricity to the grid.
Megawatt finances those farms and routes the revenue onchain.
Tokenized securities can now be used as eurosystem collateral. The proof was short-dated paper from the EIB, about as safe as an asset gets.
The harder the asset, the later it will get there.
A grid connection date is a promise.
In Britain's queue, promised dates have moved later every year for eleven years straight.
When you value a project, the date's track record matters as much as its place in line.
AI runs on electricity.
Megawatt finances the plants that produce it: utility-scale solar and battery storage, with revenue from the grid routed onchain.
Data centres are building their own power. Goldman now expects 67 GW behind the meter by 2030, up from 40.
For many campuses, the grid queue is now slower than building a plant.
Follow any yield backwards and see where it terminates.
Some terminate in a rate.
Some terminate in a balance sheet.
Some terminate in equipment that sits in a field and does a job.
Megawatt works on the last kind. Electricity doesn't care about crypto sentiment.
Two farms. Same hardware, same market, same weather. Different returns.
The gap is who runs them. From the outside, it stays invisible unless someone publishes the numbers.
Land you can buy. Permits you can file. A grid connection you wait for.
Money does not move you up that queue. The queue is what decides which projects are real.
Transparency onchain usually means a dashboard the issuer controls.
For a physical asset, it has to mean something harder: a meter someone else can read.
