What the electricity company found
Rosseti Sibir, an electricity company operating in Siberia, said its staff found an illegal cryptocurrency mining farm in a hangar in the settlement of Solontsy, in Russia's Krasnoyarsk region. The report, published by Bits.media on 10 November 2026, said the site held about 150 mining devices.
The company estimated the damage from unmetered electricity consumption at more than 18 million rubles. That figure is Rosseti Sibir's own assessment. The report did not say how the sum was calculated or whether anyone independent checked it.
Crypto mining uses specialised computers that run around the clock and draw large amounts of electricity, which makes power one of the main costs for an operator. An unmetered connection lets a site consume electricity without the supplier recording or billing it.
What the report leaves open
The report did not name the person who installed the equipment, and it did not say whether the devices were seized. It also did not say whether police or prosecutors opened a criminal case, or whether anyone has been charged.
How long the farm had been running, and how Rosseti Sibir traced the consumption to the hangar, were not reported. The account rests on the electricity company's description of the discovery.
Solontsy is a settlement in Krasnoyarsk region, in central Siberia. Whether the operator will face charges, and what happens to the equipment, is not yet known.
