Russia's Deputy Prime Minister instructs the system to analyze the reasons for the increase in energy consumption to understand which regions are growing due to cryptocurrency mining.

PANews reported on December 28 that according to Jinshi, 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 the growth of energy consumption 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.
