After the ban in China, Russia has become one of the main directions for the migration of Cryptofers. The situation hit the energy sector, since it began to produce bitcoins in the country with the help of electricity purchased on preferential tariffs for the population, Kommersant writes.
Market participants Recently require the translation of cryptoferms in residential buildings to other tariffs to sell them energy at market prices. However, the main problem of the authorities were concerns about a possible reaction of the population.
In the Ministry of Energy, refused to be responsible for such measures, because the differentiation of tariffs for the population is associated with “socio-economic policies”. As an instance that could decide, the federal government was called in the department. In turn, the Ministry of Economic Development and the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) do not comment on the situation, and market participants are trying to find softer formulations.
In the energy of energy producers, it is proposed to raise tariffs in the amount of consumption exceeding a reasonable norm. The same approach is inclined in the energy consumer community – in their opinion, the maximum plank should be 7-7.5 thousand kilowatt-hours per month, which is 20-25 times higher than the average for homes and apartments.
However, the situation is still fraught with social protests. As the edition notes, cryptoferms are developing in not the richest regions, for example, they actively work in Dagestan. Miners respondents believe that raising tariffs will be unfair because it deprives people the opportunity to earn money.
Currently, energy is trying to independently fight miners, but not very successful. So, “Irkutskenergosbyt” filed 85 lawsuits regarding overestimated energy consumption in private houses, but won only nine.
In addition to Russia and the United States, who worked in China, the miners actively moved to Kazakhstan, so that in August the country came out on the second place in the world in the world. However, later due to the problems with electricity, the authorities of the republic sharply tightened regulation. As a result, as of the end of the year, as Bloomberg writes, the country has completely lost its attraction as a location of cryptocurrencies.
