COPENHAGEN, June 20 (Reuters) - Norway aims to impose a temporary ban on the establishment of new data centres that mine cryptocurrency with the most power-intensive technology, in order to conserve electricity for other industries, the Nordic country's government said on Friday. "The Labour Party government has a clear intention to limit the mining of cryptocurrency in Norway as much as possible," Minister for Digitalization and Public Administration Karianne Tung said in a statement. "Cryptocurrency mining is very power-intensive and generates little in the way of jobs and income for the local community," she added. A temporary ban could be introduced during the autumn of 2025, the government said.
