[Russia Mandates Miners Connect to 'Category Four Reliability' Power Grid, Subject to Power Cuts at Any Time] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on October 11, according to Bits.Media, the Russian Ministry of Energy issued new regulations requiring all cryptocurrency mining facilities to connect to the power grid as 'Category Four Reliability' consumers. This means authorities can cut off power to miners at any time without prior notice. This category, established by the government in February this year, allows miners to access the power grid in regions where energy shortages have been declared and mining has been explicitly prohibited, but they must bear the risk of being disconnected at any moment. The Ministry of Energy stated that this measure aims to effectively utilize existing energy infrastructure while ensuring normal electricity supply for residents. Previously, the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service had proposed banning energy companies from participating in cryptocurrency mining and providing sites and power resources to mining enterprises.
