They built it there because the river was there... you don’t choose where is hydropower. That the damm was built before the adequate power grid is operational will be totally irrelevant in a few years. Maybe they seize the opportunity to mine crypto in the meantime as a very profitable joke against crypto-investors...

Even if it's true that they built capacity for nothing, no way that the power is just up for the grabs at almost no cost. There are always other purposes for surplus power.
