俄罗斯将加密货币挖矿禁令扩大到另外五个地区，包括达吉斯坦和车臣

政府公布了一项关于禁止或限​​制当地采矿的决议草案。该禁令将于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.

俄罗斯政府起草了一项决议，禁止或限制该国某些地区的加密货币开采。该禁令将于2025年1月1日至2031年3月15日生效，适用于达吉斯坦、印古什、车臣、卡巴尔达-巴尔卡尔和北奥塞梯。

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.

根据该文件，该禁令将包括挖矿和参与矿池。该命令不适用于卢甘斯克和顿涅茨克人民共和国以及扎波罗热和赫尔松地区的部分地区。

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，伊尔库茨克州、布里亚特共和国和后贝加尔边疆区的某些站点将在高峰负荷时段实施限制。具体而言，到2025年，该禁令将于1月1日至3月15日期间执行，并在接下来的几年中，该禁令的有效期为11月15日至3月15日。这些措施是管理能源消耗政策的一部分并将其均匀分配到不同行业。

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.

专家认为，加密货币挖矿禁令是由于能源短缺以及某些市场的电力补贴价格造成的。战略研究中心专家谢尔盖·科洛巴诺夫表示，这一机制已成为证明限制区域间交叉补贴合理性的论据之一，这种补贴可以补偿受监管地区的廉价能源。科洛巴诺夫指出，这一限制恰逢此类福利的过渡期结束。未来，电力私有化应该消除此类禁令的必要性。

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.

部长内阁补充说，可以根据电力委员会就此类区域可能包含的内容提出建议的建议来修改类似的清单。专家表示，当局以能源短缺和电价差异为由，为该禁令辩护。受监管的合同国享有较低的电价，这实际上是由其他地区的生产者和消费者进行交叉补贴。

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.

据此前报道，11 月 18 日，俄罗斯对比特币 (BTC) 挖矿利润征收 15% 的税。根据塔斯社之前的一份报告，世界上最大的国家目前的采矿禁令是持续能源短缺和差异化电价的结果。

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，根据《2023年世界能源展望》，由于工业需求下降和出口制裁，俄罗斯2022年发电量下降，而到2023年中期工业地区用电量增加5.8%。伊尔库茨克等补贴地区的电价为每千瓦时 0.01 美元，吸引了矿工，但在冬季用电高峰期间电网紧张。该禁令将有助于解决能源公平问题并平衡这种不平衡，同时准备将电力框架私有化。
