COINOTAG reported that on September 15, Dennis Porter, CEO and co-founder of Satoshi Action Fund, revealed via social media that a recent Bitcoin mining ban in a small Norwegian town has led to a substantial increase in electricity bills for local residents, amounting to an additional $300 per household, marking a 25% rise. Following the exit of Bitcoin mining firms, the power grid saw a significant shift in its operational dynamics. The departure of these high-energy consumers resulted in a surplus of electricity supply. With power companies losing major commercial clients, they may offset the revenue shortfall by hiking electricity prices for both residents and small businesses. This scenario underscores the complex relationship between regulatory actions and local economic impacts, highlighting the need for balanced decision-making in the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency mining.
