Electricity Rates for Bitcoin Miners in Washington Increase by 30%!

Chelan County Public Utility District Commissioners have adopted a bill that will charge Bitcoin miners higher power costs. The passed law will result in a 29 percent rise in power costs. This change has actually shifted mining businesses from the typical high-density billing schedule to a newly established schedule known as Rate 36, which is designed specifically for bitcoin miners. Companies will now pay lesser rates if they handle data rather than mining.
