According to Jinshi reports, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak has instructed the Russian Ministry of Energy, system operators and market committees to conduct a systematic analysis of the reasons for energy consumption growth in various regions of Russia.
"It is necessary to understand which regions are growing due to cryptocurrency mining and which regions are growing due to economic and industrial growth. In areas where electricity growth is related to mining, high-profit companies may build their own power facilities for their own needs." Novak said. He said that this analysis will affect the implementation of new energy capacity construction plans.
