Norway will impose a temporary ban on new cryptocurrency mining data centers starting in autumn 2025, targeting power-intensive operations. The government aims to redirect electricity to industries with higher job creation and economic output, balancing energy conservation with economic stability.

The Ministry of Digitalization and Public Administration leads the initiative, citing environmental concerns and the low local economic impact of crypto mining. Existing facilities will remain unaffected, preserving current infrastructure while prioritizing sustainable development.

This MOVE aligns Norway with global efforts to regulate crypto operations, emphasizing resource allocation to more productive sectors. The decision reflects growing scrutiny over energy consumption in digital asset industries worldwide.
