Irkutsk Region Wants to Ban Mining Year-Round

The authorities of the Irkutsk region are going to make restrictions on cryptocurrency mining year-round in energy-deficient areas of the region. This was announced by Governor Igor Kobzev at a session of the Legislative Assembly of the region.

According to him, there is an important problem that needs to be solved promptly, and it concerns the energy shortage that has arisen due to the use of electricity by mining structures.

The governor noted that he will seek a year-round ban on cryptocurrency mining in energy-deficient regions and districts of the Irkutsk region until 2031.

Kobzev noted that thanks to the restrictions imposed on miners in energy-deficient areas during the autumn-winter period, it was possible to free up almost 300 MW of energy capacity.

At a meeting of the legislative assembly, the head of the region proposed conducting a separate analysis of the tax return from the activities of mining companies operating in the north of the region in those areas where restrictions were not introduced.

Let us recall that in December of last year, illegal miners began to be disconnected from the networks in the Irkutsk region, and from January 1 of this year, mining was banned in some areas of Russia during the winter period.

The government believes that such measures should help balance the energy system and prevent a shortage of energy capacity during peak loads.
