Renewable Power Plants Allowed to Supply Legal Cryptominers

The Energy Ministry has announced new rules for supplying cryptominers electricity generated from renewable power plants. 
“Legal miners can enter into agreements with renewable power plants at negotiable terms and rates…The Energy Ministry will have role in setting the rates," Mohammad Khodadadi, head of the cryptominers power supply department at the main utility (Tavanir), told ISNA.
Mining virtual currency is legal in Iran and miners can operate under government rules. They must have a license from the Ministry of Industries and pay their electricity bills based on power export tariffs.
