You cannot simply stop providing electricity to people that don't pay the bill. It's a long process that takes time and sometimes providers don't even bother, because of the human rights. That's how it is in my European country and I suppose it is similar there too.
- kolinko 5y agoIn Poland you just get cut off after a few months of nonpayments. I know because I forgot to pay a few times. I think we have social programs for people who can't pay for electricity. Or at least I hope so...
- ptsneves 5y agoThe same in Portugal,a very socialistic country. You will likely get an extra fee for reconnection even. Truth be told neither in Poland nor Portugal have i ever had power going out due to demand and the grid is generally reliable for years.
- yardie 5y agoWhat if you cut it off if they reach a quota? Like my bill is 900kW/mo for a family of 3 with climatisation in the southern US. I think this is a reasonable amount. Then, you can still mine crypto but know you can't go balls to the wall.
- ermir 5y agoThere is a quota in Kosovo, but there’s a ton of small time miners that are distributed all around and none reach the quota individually but overall they affect the electric situation of the whole country.
