Zhejiang province announced a differential price hike of 0.50 yuan per kilowatt-hour for virtual currency "mining" electricity

BlockBeats news, recently, Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued a "notice on the implementation of differential electricity price policy for virtual currency" mining. According to the notice, in order to regulate virtual currency "mining" activities, further promote energy conservation and emission reduction, and help achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality as scheduled, the electricity price of virtual currency "mining" in Zhejiang province will be implemented differently, with a price increase standard of 0.50 yuan per kilowatt hour. In addition, Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission also requires development and reform departments at all levels to strengthen the dynamic screening of virtual currency "mining" electricity consumption. For the same power user, if virtual currency "mining" electricity consumption is mixed with other electricity consumption, the policy of differential electricity price will be implemented for all the electricity consumption. If the policy implementation time is less than one meter reading cycle, it can be determined by multiplying the average daily electricity consumption in the corresponding meter reading cycle by the number of days that the differential price policy should be implemented.
