Revised Rules Ease Access of Cryptominers to Renewables

The Energy Ministry has revised crypto mining regulations to help ease miners' access to renewable power.
As per a decree, miners are no more obliged to use on-site power plants and can buy renewable energy from across the country via the national grid, Bargqnews reported. 
Miners will not be charged grid transit fees for using the output of renewable power plants located in other regions of the country, the ministry said.
Mohammad Khodadadi, an official with the Iran Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution Company, says so far miners could only enter into contracts with renewable power plants located in the same province.
