由于比特币挖矿业务比任何其他消费者需要更高程度的电力，县公用事业区 (PUD) 专员本周批准了一项法案，向华盛顿州奇兰县的比特币矿工收取更高的电费。
作为根据报告6 月 8 日 560 KPQ，批准的法案意味着电价上涨约 29%。此举实际上已将矿业公司从通常的“高密度”收费时间表转移到新创建的时间表，称为 Rate 36，特别是对于加密货币矿工。

Chelan County PUD 专员 Garry Arseneault 补充说：
我们作为佣金所做的事情，以及我们作为公用事业公司所做的事情都是行业领先的，为此类需求创造了新的费率。
改变矿工业务的费率在技术上是公平的，因为他们使用大量电力，因此将支付更高的费率。
此外，由于矿工需要大量电力来开展业务，道格拉斯县已禁止此类新公司落户该县。现有公司已经使用了大约 25% 的可用电力。
新利率预计将于今年 1 月生效，但后来官方将日期推迟到 6 月。尽管如此，由于投票已于周一进行且委员会批准了该法案，新价格已从 6 月 1 日起生效。
提高电价不会以任何方式让矿工退缩。对于那些目前无法承担新时间表额外费率的新公司，因为他们已经投入大量资金来引入挖矿设施，委员会提供了三个经过验证的挖矿平台来签署过渡合同。它会逐步提高价格，而不是一口气征收高利率。
PUD 专员 Ann Congdon，添加周二：
我们需要进行某种过渡。这对企业很重要。我了解企业如何需要它来进行计划。
尽管委员会已经桥接了过渡合同，但仍然受到矿工社区的批评。
Salcido Enterprises 首席执行官 Malachi Salcido，说 到当地的新闻媒体，韦纳奇世界， 由于奇兰县的电价上涨，他需要将他的三个挖矿平台重新配置为数据农场。此外，除了他认为要过境的这两个平台之外，他还有另外四个采矿设施，其中两个位于道格拉斯县，另外两个位于格兰特县。

根据新规则，如果 Salcido 将其位于 Chelan 的公司转移到数据农场并处理数据而不是挖掘数据，则这些平台将按照“高密度”时间表支付较低的费用。在新法案获得批准之前，加密货币公司过去常常按照该时间表付款。
Salcido 进一步向新闻媒体表示，数据处理需要的电力与矿工所需的电力相同。
