The Institute for Internet Development (IRI) and the Russian Association of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency (RABIK) are reportedly working on a pilot project to subsidize electricity costs related to cryptocurrency mining. IRI director of project activities Arseny Shcheltsin told daily newspaper Izvestiya this week that mining farm owners would receive discounts on electricity but did not disclose the actual location of the project.

RABIK’s creation was announced at the end of August by Herman Klimenko, Vladimir Putin’s internet advisor.
