The use of energy in the city of Kuwaiti decreased by more than 50 % after the authorities erupted on the encryption mining

The authorities in Al -Wafra, Kuwait, coordinated the alleged encryption mines in the city, which led to a 55 % decrease in energy consumption in the following week. According to Reuters, Kuwait is in the energy crisis where the summer temperatures rise. The growing number of citizens is pushing to the energy network to maintain calm, while some power stations suffer from delaying maintenance. The Kuwaiti authorities claim that miners in the cryptocurrency are pushing the demand for energy until after the country’s ability, which leads to the power outages and the “main” power crisis.

The cryptocurrency trading is illegal in Kuwait, but mining has not been explicitly banned. However, the government of the government said it “constitutes an illegal exploitation of electric energy … and may cause interruptions that affect residential, commercial and service areas, which constitutes a direct threat to public safety.” The government raid covered about 100 houses suspected of hosting encryption mining operations, as some use more than 20 times the consumption of electricity in the Mediterranean house.
