- Miners are on track to use 91 terawatt hours (TWh) this year, or about the same amount as Pakistan, BNEF said.
- Estimated energy consumption of bitcoin mining last year was 67 TWh.
- Bitcoin’s rising price in recent months has made mining more attractive, enticing companies with less energy-efficient machines to join the network and drive up power usage.
