Check out the video. Some miners still manage to bring 8 kilowatts of power to the balcony, but now they no longer use video cards, but ASICs.

The Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia has calculated new electricity tariffs from July 24 = from 6.73 rubles to 7.33 rubles in Moscow. 1 dollar costs 91 rubles.
https://rg.ru/2023/11/21/svet-v-koridore.html
In Moscow, with such tariffs, it will soon be unprofitable to mine coins at home because tariffs for business are even cheaper due to the large volume of consumption. But in other regions of Russia, prices for individuals are several times cheaper.

Probably the fire of the mining equipment in the garage occurred due to an overload (this is mentioned in the article) in the electrical network. In general, this is not at all surprising, because garages are not designed for such power consumption (20-30 kW/hour). Cheap electricity will encourage the formation of such small mining farms in garages in the future, and this will lead to similar fires discussed in this topic. Greed and the desire to save on electricity led to the loss of 9 ASICs, which, by the way, costs not so little money. The conclusion is quite simple: it is necessary to prepare the appropriate technical base for mining (permissible load limit on electrical networks, fire protection and fire extinguishing system, etc.). Just curious, was the heat generated from 9 ASIC units enough to heat this garage? 
In such cases, all fire reports are the same. There will be no serious investigations unless people are harmed.

Although I heard that in Europe data centers are burning. The last major fire was in a large data center in Strasbourg in 2021.
If you read too much Russian propaganda you will hear that
- all datacenters in Europe are faulty
- after five minutes there is no power in all all datacenters in Europe
- after five minutes all datacenters in Europe have burned down
- after five more minutes there are no datacenters in Europe as we are too poor to host them
- and the end of the show there is no Europe as the Russian army has conquered Portugal last month

It is curious that in many countries where electricity is cheap, mining is "illegal", while in countries where this activity could be done without problems, it is precisely the energy prices that make it impossible. In Italy, for example, we have an average price of around $0.22 per kW
Watch a short video about private data centers for mining in Russia. The quality of ASIC containers is described and shown in great detail.
The price is 5.4 Russian rubles or 0.061 dollars per kilowatt. This is an expensive price, but not in Siberia.

If you believe the news that Russia ranks 2nd in mining in the world, then mining companies do not have such problems.
I dont know the actual metrics to be able to confirm or deny this, but as per the data on this website, it says that USA is the first and China has been the second and before this the opposite was true, the Chinese have lost their dominance as the first in the recent years.https://www.statista.com/statistics/1200477/bitcoin-mining-by-country/

I wanted to tell you how private miners work in Russia, and what risks they take to engage in mining.
Thankfully no one got hurt in the above incident.And there isn't always proper energy flow. We face load shedding here and there, mostly in village areas. Maybe not the proper environment for mining I reckon.
Sadly the situation is not that good in Bangladesh added to it the government's involvement in outlawing crypto use. You end up risking you neck for nothing and as long as the economy remains like it is, the government stance will not change there. Situation is similar in most of the developing countries in SEAsia and some of the African countries where poverty is common and bitcoin has been the buzz word but only for scamming those people by MLM/HYIPs.Ice cold temperatures in Russia sounds like a boon but getting electricity and laborers working is good condition there is tough. One thing cancels the other and the optimum situations to mine is still being searched for by many companies out there.

Unlimited or it has consumer bracket and different tariffs if exceeding those limits?
Makes little sense for a poor and net importer country to offer highly subsidized unlimited electricity.
The internet connection has improved a lot right now. You can also see the broadband connection in village areas. That's not the issue anymore. But yeah, we are limited by how much energy we can consume. Despite being cheap, it is a 3rd world country so here to local people, it is not as cheap as we think. And there isn't always proper energy flow. We face load shedding here and there, mostly in village areas. Maybe not the proper environment for mining I reckon.

In Russia, the same short circuit protection equipment is used as in European countries, but you understand one thing: these are tools for household use. In mining, they have false positives, so only such standard switches are used in mining

According to your data, the price of electricity in Bangladesh is $0.053 and in the Irkutsk region of Russia $0.017.
Sorry my bad, I missed the (0) after the decimal point. I thought it was $0.17 so I assume that it was way cheaper for us at only $0.053. it was a bit of misunderstanding from my side. So apologies.Quote
The article says that one of the private garages in which there was illegal mining burned down. The causes of this fire are usually the negligence of the owners, resulting in a short circuit.
There are thousands of such garages in the Irkutsk region, although mining in garages is prohibited
I can't quite remember in which video but it was in a video of electroboom on YouTube. If you don't know who he is, you can give a search and you will find out. He makes great content and it's quite entertaining. But that's not what I'm discussing here. In one of his video he said that, the power that the government provides are not regulated and none of the outlet in Russia has any kind of fail safe in case of electric short circuit. I guess that could be the reason why this happened. Maybe that's why they can have cheap electricity in Irkutsk.

In garages, common wires are not designed for such loads. You cannot replace these wires, and therefore miners take risks. If your neighbors also want to mine, the wires will overheat and there will be a fire. Many garages have begun to install power consumption limiters, but the garage electrician has to turn it on many times after a shutdown, and he is not always on duty in garages.

Stupid? Definitely! But also a bit unlucky.

According to Idemudia, the vandal was cutting the transformer cable and, suddenly, electricity supply was restored to the area.
He probably did not expect the power company to deliver such a shocking performance.
Wow, that's quite a situation! Those super cheap electricity prices gotta be bringing in some monster crypto mining operations. Makes me wonder:
How often do people around there end up setting up mining rigs in their garages and stuff because of the low prices? Is it like a common thing for folks to do since electricity doesn't cost much? Do they have any rules or safety measures for people doing mining in residential spots?
I'm real curious if its widespread or if it's just a few folks trying to cash in. But hey, cheap powers a nice perk if you can make some crypto money off it!

In Irkutsk in recent years, only lazy people have not invested in mining. In fact, there are a lot of such cases, and that’s why energy workers have started hunting for miners.
I'll tell you that electricity in the village is even 20-30% cheaper
They ^^ should have moved the body away from the power lines but left it up there as a stark warning to others and to showcase how stupid the thief was....
yeah. your life for under $100 in cable seems like a bad deal to me.

I was thinking OP to put up a nice story of cheap electricity and much coins mined by them garage owners in Putin's land.
On seeing the images under this notion, I was like why the hell do these ASICs look so banged up and then I noticed the word "fire" and understood the rest.
Well, fire is a creator and a destroyer and like all electronics fire is a constant worry and whenever you are dealing with small spaces and electricity, things can get out of hand.
Luckily no one got hurt. Its rare to get cheap electricity and its a boon for such cities, unlike most people.

Monster crypto mining companies don't need to move in different areas to get cheap electricity. All they need is some corruption and agreement with positions and they get cheap electricity. Russia is also very corrupt country and don't think that you just go in Irkutsk and start mining. Local people of the city can probably mine some coins without any permission. This is only my expectation.How often do people around there end up setting up mining rigs in their garages and stuff because of the low prices?

It's very common for people to set up mining rigs in their garage if they have low electricity prices. In small countries someone in IT always has a friend who has a friend that lives in a place where electricity is cheap. These friends together start a small mining farm.

Usolye-Sibirskoye is a city in the Irkutsk region of Russia with a population of less than 100,000 people.
Iskutsk is known for its cheap electricity prices in Russia.
For individuals in a garage, the price is about $0.017 per kilowatt.
In one of these garages there were approximately 9 ASICs with a consumption of 20-30 kilowatts per hour, and this garage was located next to the courthouse.
As a result of the fire, no one was injured, except for the ASICs and the garage, but there are many such stories in Irkutsk.
