Utility Shuts More Illegal Cryptomining Centers

Closing unauthorized cryptomining farms to prevent blackouts remains on the agenda of the Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) as demand for electricity remains high.
As per a recent Tavanir report, the total number of detected centers has reached 5,380 and 216,758 pieces of hardware have been seized from the illegal operators, ISNA reported.
The farms' collective power consumption is equal to the consumption of 800,000 households or 2 million people, the utility company said.
