How is it easier to sell energy? Electricity is not digital, you need to build the wires, figure out the demand and fund the operations of the whole thing.

- acdha 3y agoThat’s already setup: they export something like ¾ of the electricity they produce to India. I suspect this is either trying to get higher rates or possibly challenges related to their seasonal hydropower issues – if India is building more capacity for the times when the water levels are too low, the long-term rates aren’t going to be going up.

- HashBasher 3y agoYou don't need to build wires that spans half your country! Just a big building, some transformers or whatever equipment is used to consume the energy from the stranded producer and a lot of miners, as much as you can power!
