The governor of the Russia’s Leningrad region Alexander Drozdenko has invited the miners from across the globe to use land in the region for mining farms, Bitcoin.com reports.
He even offered to utilise the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant (LNPP) as a power source and space for new cryptocurrency mining.
“For the production of Bitcoins (Bitcoin), first of all, large areas for processing and cheap electric power are required. As you know, the construction of LNPP-2 is being completed in Sosnovy Bor, and large areas of the first nuclear power plant are being liberated. The liberated facility of Leningrad NPP can be used as a technopark designed for cheap energy,” he said at the annual small and medium-sized business forum, called “Energy of Opportunities”.
The Leningrad region is bordered by Finland in the northwest and Estonia and St. Petersburg in the west.
