The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) of Russia proposes to stimulate the relocation of mining to regions with a surplus of electricity, and is also considering the possibility of allocating miners into a separate category of consumers.
The fight against illegal mining is effective due to differentiated tariffs. At the same time, legal miners are beneficial for the energy sector due to stable consumption of resources, the department notes.
Current regulations do not always allow directing mining to energy-surplus regions, so the introduction of a fourth price category of consumers may be required. This requires amendments to the legislation.
The issue of tariff regulation for miners remains under discussion. In energy-surplus zones, tariffs should be attractive, while in regions with a shortage of electricity, the introduction of special pricing mechanisms, including increasing coefficients, is possible.
