🇬🇪 In Georgia, there is an active debate about cryptocurrency farms – critics of the industry estimate that mining consumes about 6% of the country's total electricity – approximately 1 billion kWh per year, comparable to the consumption of Batumi.



At the same time, the farms operate around the clock, and their contribution to the budget is considered disproportionately small compared to the strain on the energy system.

Mining farms run 24/7, yet their contribution is disproportionate, so it’s no wonder locals are complaining. Linking tax rates to electricity costs might help restore some balance.

Shouldn't this electricity pricing be recalculated?
