Apply For MembershipHow We Size Memberships
We use a scale index to place organizations in tiers. Your index is the higher of:
- Full-time employees (FTE)
- Managed capacity, measured in megawatts (MW), for block production, AI compute, or power generation.
This keeps dues fair for both small, high-capacity operators and larger, lower-capacity teams.
