We have a commissary kitchen in an industrial area in Oregon that has 480V 3 phase power. (For the refrigerators)  We have 400 kW available capacity in a secure lot for multiple 20ft container based operations. (Ai compute bitcoin etc)  Since this existing power in an industrial area there should be no complaints. While we do have very inexpensive power for the Northwest,  we are not going to compete with the existing hosting companies. Instead we have immediate deployment, flexible terms,flexible terms, available capacity NOW.

Are there good places to advertise this or local groups to advertise this?

Not posting links so it won't be taken as spam but as a legitimate question.

Thank you!

If you want to lease 400 kW to miners, you should specify the price per kilowatt and the lease term. This is crucial information for miners.
However, the greatest profit will be achieved if you mine independently and have the opportunity to operate until the next halving.
"Cheap" is a very vague concept; 10 cents might be cheap for you, but for mining, it's very expensive.

You are going to get better leads by posting the boring numbers first. Miners do not really care that it is "inexpensive for the Northwest" until they see the all-in cents/kWh, whether demand charges are included, what the minimum term is, who eats curtailment/outage risk, and whether the 400 kW is actually deliverable continuously at the panel without some surprise hiding in the utility bill.

400 kW is not nothing, but it is also not big-hosting-company territory. That is probably your advantage. You are looking for the guy with a container, a few hundred ASICs, or some mixed AI/GPU gear who wants a real plug-in site without signing his soul to a 10 MW facility. For that person, flexible terms and "can deploy now" may matter more than being the absolute cheapest site in North America.

I would advertise it in the mining section here, but make the post look like an actual site sheet, not a teaser. Half the mining hosting drama I've seen over the years starts because someone said "we have power" when what they really had was "we have a panel, a dream, and an electrician who stopped answering texts."

Outside the forum, local Oregon/Washington crypto mining groups, Telegram mining channels, ASIC resale groups, and industrial real estate/electrical contractor circles are probably where you find the right weirdos. Just be direct with the math. If the number is good, miners will smell it through a concrete wall. If it is 10c+ all-in, then yes, you can still rent it, but it needs to be sold as convenience/flexibility/instant deployment, not "cheap mining power."

Stop, bro  Smiley You are in a big hurry.
Typically, advertisements indicate the capacity and rental period, and technical issues are discussed on site.
Without a legal agreement, it's very risky to locate your equipment in someone else's location, but if the electricity price is truly favorable, it may be of interest to miners.

Your best selling point is “power available now.” Try advertising in Bitcointalk mining, Reddit mining groups, X/Twitter, Telegram mining groups, and LinkedIn for AI or container hosting. Focus on 480V 3-phase power, secure lot, flexible terms, and fast deployment. Smaller operators may value speed and flexibility more than the cheapest rate.  Grin

For small miners, electricity price is the primary concern because they don't buy new ASICs and will install older equipment in unknown locations. If their price is below 5 cents, they'll quickly find a tenant for their location. But if the price is high, then given the current Bitcoin price, there won't be many takers.
