Russian provinces free to make crypto miners pay higher electricity rates, says gov’t. In an official decree, the government explained that it has handed local governors the power to “independently determine the maximum volume of electricity consumption” that citizens can use at “preferential” residential rates. Anyone exceeding this maximum volume limit will be forced to pay higher rates – which can be determined by the regions and power companies themselves.
The system is not exactly brand-new: it has been pioneered in Crimea and particularly in its largest city, Sevastopol, where citizens’ energy usage at lower residential rates is capped at 150 kWh per month.
The Ministry of Energy assured that the measure was not a means to drive an increase in energy tariffs, claiming that its purpose was solely to “combat inappropriate energy consumption.” Regions have also been given the power to set “different tariffs for certain groups of the population” – in other words, to ramp up electricity fees for people power providers have identified as crypto miners.
