The Kazakhstan government restricts crypto mining due to the power shortage in the country. The activity is being blamed as the main reason for this problem. According to reports, miners are taking advantage of the cheap electricity rates there due to the crackdown happening in China. So, all in all, the government’s steps seem to be fair but it won’t be right to blame the entire power shortage problem on mining.

How is crypto mining affecting Kazakhstan’s electricity requirements?

Due to the recent crackdown in China, miners have been moving to Kazakhstan due to the low electricity prices there. And all this has resulted in a 7% increase in electricity demand in the country. This has resulted in power shortage which is becoming a big problem there. Even the energy minister of the country said that the rising demand is due to the increasing cryptocurrency operation in the country. He also said that this increase is pretty big. This is probably the reason they are unable to meet the requirements of the masses.

Kazakhstan restricts crypto mining due to power shortage

To tackle this situation they are planning to reduce the consumption of miners when there is a power shortage. Even though this will affect the miners, the government doesn’t care much. This is because crypto mining is not actually benefiting them. Miners are exploiting the cheap rates in the country and the minted currency is being sold and profits are taken abroad. All in all, Kazakhstan is in no way benefiting from the same.

They do plan to develop the crypto mining industry in the country but due to the rising demand, first they will have to solve the electricity consumption problem. To do the same they are evaluating a solution. The government plans to restrict electricity usage by existing miners in the country. At the same time, they won’t allow new miners to connect to the grid.

Future plans

To deal with the electricity problem more appropriately, Kazakhstan plans to build powerplants producing over 3000-megawatts in the next 5 years. These powerplants will run on gas but the government will also focus on renewable energy resources. With surplus energy, the government can focus on new initiatives in the crypto space and give the crypto mining industry space to breathe.
