According to PANews, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak instructed the Energy Ministry, system operators and market committees to analyze the reasons for the increase in energy consumption in various regions.
Novak said 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 generation facilities.
He pointed out that this analysis will affect the implementation of the new energy capacity construction plan.
