In any case, the rates increment four-overlay during the pinnacle summer season, from June to September. The Financial Tribune announced Sunday:

“In a bid to support authorized cryptocurrency mining, Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said it will cut up to 47% of the electricity tariff for miners during the peak consumption periods.”

Mostafa Rajabi told state TV that the point of the levy slice is to help lawful mining ranches during the four summer months. “To be eligible for the incentives, the miners can take part or invest in Tavanir’s recent efficiency plans such as the ongoing project to replace one million old (gas-powered) air conditioners with energy-efficient ACs,”  the distribution cited him as saying.

In the mean time, cryptographic money diggers will before long need to enlist with the administration. Iranian Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri Kouhshahi declared a week ago:

“Miners will have to disclose their identities, the size of their mining farms and their mining equipment type with the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade.”
