# Energy Efficiency Management

The project uses the indicator “AEE” (Average Energy Efficiency) to update the current energy efficiency level and daily costs calculation.

| Name                | Quantity | Unit    |
| ------------------- | -------- | ------- |
| Energy efficiency\* | 0.06     | kW/TH/s |
| Electricity price   | 0.055    | USD/kW  |

\*The current AEE indicator is published in monthly reports, as well as added to the Stats section on the Project website. 0.06 kW/TH/s - starting energy efficiency.

The average energy efficiency (AEE) of the entire project is separated into 2 components for a clearer understanding: CEE and TEE:

1. Customer Energy Efficiency (CEE) - means the average energy efficiency value of the hashrate used by customers
2. Treasury Energy Efficiency (TEE) - means the average energy efficiency value of the hashrate used to fill the Treasury

The target levels of AEE and CEE will be adjusted up every year.  For 2024, we see it possible to achieve the following values: 

| Energy Efficiency (EE) | Target value (2024), W/TH |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------- |
| AEE (average)          | 32-34                     |
| CEE (customer)         | 30-32                     |

The update of the project's targets will take place as part of the voting on the Governance section.

Improving the energy efficiency of hardware to 30-32 W/TH will provide higher profitability for each customer, and will also allow Minto to become one of the world leaders in terms of energy efficiency, since the Average Energy Efficiency in the world as of the end of 2023 is 32.22 W/TH (according to Coin Metrics Labs).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.minto.finance/technical-design/energy-efficiency-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
