Part of Georgia may be without electricity this winter due to uncontrolled mining

The Mestia City Hall has urged residents of the villages of Chuberi and Khaisha to turn off mining farms due to a critical load on the power grid. Due to preferential electricity tariffs, the region has become a center for uncontrolled cryptocurrency mining.

In Georgia, the Mestia City Hall has urged residents of the villages of Chuberi and Khaisha to immediately turn off “bitcoin machines”. Uncontrolled mining can leave  part of the region without electricity this winter, UNN reports with reference to “News of Georgia”.

“In administrative units, electricity consumption has increased catastrophically, which is associated with uncontrolled cryptocurrency mining,” the statement says.

Power supply systems are operating with overload and can be turned off at any moment.

If the situation is not resolved, electricity supply to the population will be impossible, the authorities warn.

“Please understand that your personal interests are being sacrificed for the well-being of the rest of the population – your neighbors, your relatives, your friends,” the city hall urges.

The problem with electricity due to mining has been relevant in Mestia for several years. The emergence of a large number of mining farms in Mestia is due to low electricity tariffs and special benefits for residents of the high-mountainous region.
