The mining farms will be cut off from the grid on Wednesday, the Islamic Republic’s Ministry of Energy announced.Authorized crypto mining enterprises in Iran will have to unplug their power-hungry coin minting equipment from the beginning of Tir, the next month in the Iranian calendar, or Wednesday, June 22. Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi, spokesman of the Ministry of Energy, announced the decision, quoted by Tehran Times.
The government official noted that the measure applies to 118 licensed mining farms currently operating in the Islamic Republic. The temporary restrictions will be imposed after electricity consumption in the country reached a record high of 62,500 megawatts during the peak hours last week. Mashhadi added that power demand this week, which ends on Friday according to the local calendar, has been forecasted to exceed 63,000 MW. The energy ministry’s representative described these figures as significant and warned that they will lead to a limited electricity supply across the nation.
The authorities in Tehran legalized cryptocurrency mining as an industrial activity in 2019. Since then, dozens of companies have applied for a license from the Ministry of Industry and started extracting digital currencies, taking advantage of the low-cost energy offered by Iranian power plants. Besides the approved mining operations, a growing number of Iranians have been setting up mining installations using subsidized household electricity to mint digital coins, further increasing the load on the Iranian power generation industry. The latter has been facing serious problems due to draughts caused by lower than expected rainfall and increased demand in the hot weather.
