Digital transformation of energy efficiency at Ukrainian NPPs

Abstract

In this article, the author will try to conditionally transform the energy capacities of NNEGC Energoatom by converting a liability into an asset using the example of bitcoin. With a surplus of nuclear power generation, one of the modern tools for using excess electricity is directing it to cryptocurrency mining. The author of the article will try to calculate the possibilities of Ukrainian NPPs in the cryptoindustry market by analyzing the competitiveness, market trends and the approximate profitability of this kind of activity. The essence of the article lies in the intervention of the state energy giant in completely new activities, partial monopolization of the market and interference in the activities of decentralized cryptocurrencies, as well as the very novelty of combining two different fields of activity and the global nature of the consequences. Mining can be used to convert the underdeveloped electricity or all of Energoatom’s capacities totally, but at the same time it can also affect the cryptoasset market in the field of decentralization, as the primary cost factor to affect the price of assets and allow for obtaining super-profits at a state enterprise. The author of the article tries to understand the profitability of such actions and, in general, to understand the globality of the idea. The results of the entry of the national energy giant into the cryptoasset market will change the global processes in the ecosystem of the cryptoindustry and change the situation both
