Mohammed Alshiekh is Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of DEMA Energy, a Saudi energy-technology startup developing grid-interactive data centers and large flexible-load systems. With more than 15 years across telecommunications, autonomous systems, artificial intelligence and energy technology, he leads development of immersion-cooled compute infrastructure, mining fleet systems and virtual-power-plant platforms. Public bios reference prior initiatives at Saudi Aramco, SDAIA, Mozn and academic institutions in the United States and United Kingdom.
DEMA Energy
DEMA treats Bitcoin mining and flexible compute as controllable electrical loads. Virtual power plants aggregate flexible resources to respond to grid needs; commercial value depends on market rules and dispatch rights. Immersion cooling can improve thermal management but does not itself prove efficiency or sustainability. Separate Bitcoin-mining systems from broader AI/compute data-center applications. Do not describe a pilot as deployed grid infrastructure.
Current 2026 Work
Verify live deployments, grid partners, capacity and energy sources. Document whether systems are pilots, commercial operations or research collaborations. Explain grid-balancing claims with measured response, baseline and settlement data. Information last checked: 26 August 2026.
