The Ministry of Energy plans to impose limitations on miners' generating capacities to address concerns about energy strain. Crypto mining hotspots, like Irkutsk Oblast, have emerged in Russia, but the lack of industry recognition creates pricing challenges. Local authorities express concerns about energy resources while showing some support for industrial mining. To tackle this, the ministry allows energy providers to bill miners at higher rates but seeks a separate crypto mining rate. Miners urge Moscow to legalize the industry. The Vice Minister warns of adverse consequences without restrictions and emphasizes regulation for stability.
