Paraguay’s National Electricity Administration (ANDE) said special power contracts for high-energy users, including cryptocurrency miners, will end on December 31, 2027, and will not be renewed under current regulations. According to Odaily, the operators collectively use 943.8 megawatts of Paraguay’s surplus hydropower, and the change is expected to significantly affect HIVE Digital Technologies, which has about 77% to 80% of its active mining capacity in the country. ANDE is also signing 15-year power supply agreements with AI data centers.
