After Russia and the USA, Kazakhstan has emerged as one of the top spots for Bitcoin mining. Also, the electricity prices in Kazakhstan are the lowest compared to other countries. The average electricity consumption in the region amounts to nearly $0.041 per kWh for households.
Recently, the country has also been facing frequent electricity shortages owing to extensive crypto mining. According to the reports issued by the energy ministry of Kazakhstan, the country’s electricity demand jumped 8% in 2021, fueling continuous power blackouts in the region.
In an attempt to bring the situation under control, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev issued an order to limit gas, fuel, and food prices, blaming the government for the protests. The cabinet of ministers has resigned.
