Example embodiments for providing computation resource availability based on power-generation signals are presented herein. An embodiment may involve receive information indicative of power-generation economic signals at a first control system and identifying at least one of: (i) a change in a power-generation economic signal that exceeds a predefined threshold change, (ii) a power-generation economic signal that is below a predefined lower threshold limit, or (iii) a power-generation economic signal that is above a predefined upper threshold limit. Responsive to the identification, the embodiment involves performing at least one of: (i) adjusting a rate of power use by a flexible datacenter, and (ii) providing an indication of computation resource availability to a second control system. The flexible datacenter may include a behind-the-meter power input system, a power distribution system, and computing systems configured to receive power from the behind-the-meter power input system via the power distribution system.
