Hawassa mining FAQ
Why site mining at Hawassa rather than Addis Ababa?+
Industrial infrastructure. Hawassa has an industrial park designed for power-intensive industry, so the electrical connection and physical hosting capacity are established. Addis Ababa is where you deal with regulation and finance; Hawassa is where the load can physically run.
Is crypto mining legal in Ethiopia?+
Yes, with power supplied under contract by the national utility and mining payments increasingly required in foreign currency. Legality is not the constraint - supply reliability and settlement currency are.
