The government's expert council proposed monitoring private miners for exceeding electricity levels in apartments. This will be possible by comparing the actual consumption with the one declared remotely

Violators will be punished with fines in the amount of excess electricity consumption, but at a higher tariff for industrial enterprises. Currently, the consumption discrepancy is calculated using tariffs for the population.

“Today, electricity suppliers can prove such violations in court, wasting time and money on the companies. However, if a unified principle of fines is developed at the federal level, this will significantly facilitate and intensify the fight against violators,” said Dmitry Tortev, a member of the expert council for the development of competition in the field of information technology at the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia.

Fines for miners will reach hundreds of thousands and even millions of rubles, the expert noted.#Bitcoin
