Sure, but it makes sense. You have overproduction, how do you deal with it?
If a tiny amount, you can ignore it. Extra boxes pile up a bit higher than ideal. Power production gets a bit uncomfortably close to the maximum limits established, but you don't get into any trouble. You take note, but it's not worth really doing anything yet.
A bit more, and you start making minor changes. Slow things down a bit. Offer discounts to get rid of excess stock. Talk to the nearby businesses to adjust their schedules to use more power when you have too much.
If you have a lot of excess but have good reasons to believe that it won't be piling up indefinitely, but that you will profit from buffering the excess and then selling it off in times of high demand, that's when you build storage.
And something like crypto mining would be my very last choice. You're talking about building highly complex, highly specialized infrastructure for a single use. Storage can sell to anyone who wants, while crypto hardware only does crypto. Should conditions change it'll be far less flexible than storage.
