俄羅斯將加密貨幣挖礦禁令擴大到另外五個地區，包括達吉斯坦和車臣

政府公佈了一項關於禁止或限制當地採礦的決議草案。該禁令將於2025年1月1日生效，有效期至2031年3月15日。

Russia’s government has drafted a resolution to ban or restrict cryptocurrency mining in certain regions of the country. The ban will be in effect from Jan. 1, 2025, to Mar. 15, 2031, and will apply to Dagestan, Ingushetia, Chechnya, Kabardino-Balkaria and North Ossetia.

俄羅斯政府起草了一項決議，禁止或限制該國某些地區的加密貨幣開採。該禁令將於2025年1月1日至2031年3月15日生效，適用於達吉斯坦、印古什、車臣、卡巴爾達-巴爾卡爾和北奧塞梯。

According to the document, the ban will include mining and participation in pools. The order will not be applied in the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics, as well as some localities of the Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.

根據該文件，該禁令將包括挖礦和參與礦池。該命令不適用於盧甘斯克和頓內茨克人民共和國以及扎波羅熱和赫爾鬆地區的部分地區。

Moreover, the restrictions will be imposed on certain sites in the Irkutsk Region, Buryatia, and Zabaikalsky Krai during peak load hours. In particular, by 2025, this will be enforced between Jan. 1 and Mar. 15, and in the following years, the ban will be valid from Nov. 15 through Mar. 15. These measures are part of a policy to manage energy consumption and distribute it evenly across different industries.

此外，伊爾庫茨克州、布里亞特共和國和後貝加爾邊疆區的某些站點將在高峰負載時段實施限制。具體而言，到2025年，該禁令將於1月1日至3月15日期間執行，並在接下來的幾年中，該禁令的有效期為11月15日至3月15日。是管理能源消耗政策的一部分並將其均勻分配到不同行業。

Experts believe that the crypto mining ban is due to energy shortages and the subsidized price at which electricity is available in some markets. According to Sergey Kolobanov, an expert at the Center for Strategic Research, this mechanism has become one of the arguments used to justify restrictions on interregional cross-subsidization, which compensates for cheap energy in regulated regions. Kolobanov noted that the limitation coincides with the end of the transition period for such benefits. In the future, power privatization should eliminate the need for such bans.

專家認為，加密貨幣挖礦禁令是由於能源短缺以及某些市場的電力補貼價格所造成的。戰略研究中心專家謝爾蓋·科洛巴諾夫表示，這項機制已成為證明限制區域間交叉補貼合理性的論點之一，這種補貼可以補償受監管地區的廉價能源。科洛巴諾夫指出，這項限制恰逢此類福利的過渡期結束。未來，電力私有化應該消除此類禁令的必要性。

The Cabinet of Ministers added that a similar list could be revised in the light of proposals from an electricity commission advising on what such zones might comprise. Experts say the authorities justified the ban on the grounds of energy shortages and price disparities in electricity. The regulated contract states in question enjoy lower electricity prices, which are effectively cross-subsidized by the producers and consumers of other regions.

部長內閣補充說，可以根據電力委員會就此類區域可能包含的內容提出建議的建議來修改類似的清單。專家表示，當局以能源短缺和電價差異為由，為禁令辯護。受監管的合約國享有較低的電價，這實際上是由其他地區的生產者和消費者進行交叉補貼。

As previously reported, on Nov. 18, Russia imposed a 15% tax rule on Bitcoin (BTC) mining profits. The world’s largest country’s current mining ban is a result of ongoing energy shortages and differentiated electricity pricing, as per a previous TASS report.

根據先前報導，11 月 18 日，俄羅斯對比特幣 (BTC) 挖礦利潤徵收 15% 的稅。根據塔斯社先前的一份報告，世界上最大的國家目前的採礦禁令是持續能源短缺和差異化電價的結果。

Furthermore, according to the World Energy Outlook 2023, Russia’s power generation decreased in 2022 due to lower industrial demand and export sanctions, while electricity consumption increased by 5.8% in industrial regions by mid-2023. Subsidized regions, such as Irkutsk, where electricity is sold at $0.01 per kilowatt-hour, attracted miners and strained grids during winter peaks. The ban will help address energy equity and balance such imbalances while preparing to privatize power frameworks.

此外，根據《2023年世界能源展望》，由於工業需求下降和出口制裁，俄羅斯2022年發電量下降，而到2023年中期工業地區用電量增加5.8%。伊爾庫茨克等補貼地區的電價為每千瓦時 0.01 美元，吸引了礦工，但在冬季用電高峰期間電網緊張。該禁令將有助於解決能源公平問題並平衡這種不平衡，同時準備將電力框架私有化。
