Rosatom Cites U.S. Signals on Zaporizhzhia Power Cooperation as Crypto-Mining Talk Surfaces

Any restart or commercial use hinges on firm security guarantees.

Overview

  • Rosatom says it has received indications via the IAEA of U.S. readiness to cooperate on future electricity from the Russian-controlled plant.
  • The corporation states it is prepared to route output to large commercial users such as data centers, mining farms, and processing plants once generation resumes.
  • A media report describes U.S. exploration of a crypto-mining role and outlines competing governance proposals, which remain unagreed and unconfirmed.
  • Plant officials reiterate that the facility is operated under a Russian decree by ZNPP Operating Organization JSC and that only the operator can ensure safe operation.
  • Rosatom notes Unit 1 has an operating license and previously targeted additional Rostechnadzor licenses this year, with timing dependent on the military and political situation.
