According to Russian government Resolution No. 1300 and statements from the Ministry of Energy, cryptocurrency mining farms and mining infrastructure operators can now only apply for grid access under the Category 4 power reliability level. This means that during power shortages or adverse system conditions, these facilities may be prioritized for power cuts to ensure electricity supply for other users. The Category 4 power level was introduced in February this year, allowing eligible facilities in power-scarce regions to connect to the grid, but with the risk of supply interruptions at any time. The new regulations also apply to previously submitted but incomplete grid connection applications for mining farms. The Russian Ministry of Energy stated that this move aims to prevent power shortages caused by crypto mining and improve the efficiency of existing grid infrastructure.
