Russia's FAS Proposes Filling Idle Khanty-Mansiysk Grid Capacity With Crypto Miners
- —Over 500 MW sits unused at 35 kV+ substations in Rosseti Tyumen's service area
- —Minimum transmission payments start at 25% of capacity, rising to 50% and 75%
- —Miners must have at least 5 MW and connect after July 1, 2026
- —Dagestan has found 52 illegal mining sites this year, with 129 million rubles in grid damage
Why it matters: Approval would give miners cheap capacity in Khanty-Mansiysk even as other Russian regions ban mining over power shortages.
