Paraguay's National Electricity Administration (ANDE) announced that special electricity contracts with high-power-consumption users, including cryptocurrency miners, will expire on December 31, 2027, and will not be renewed under current regulations. The affected operators collectively draw 943.8 megawatts from Paraguay's surplus hydroelectric resources. The decision poses a significant risk to HIVE Digital Technologies, which has approximately 77% to 80% of its active mining capacity located in Paraguay. Meanwhile, ANDE is signing 15-year power supply agreements with AI data centers, signaling a strategic shift in how the country allocates its energy resources.
