Mining Depot Launches New Data Center in Novotroitsk at AKKERMANN Cement Site — A Major Boost for Russia’s Mining Sector

In August 2025, Mining Depot is launching the first phase of a cutting-edge data center in Novotroitsk, located on the premises of AKKERMANN Cement — one of Russia’s largest cement producers.

According to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, Russia ranks among the top five countries in global mining activity. The emergence of new data centers like this one plays a vital role in network decentralization and reinforcing the stability of national power systems.

The site will offer 10 MW of capacity at launch, with a planned expansion to 40 MW. Its advanced infrastructure and significant energy reserve make it highly attractive for institutional investors and enterprise clients.

A report by ResearchAndMarkets shows that the Russian data center market is growing at an annual rate of 15%, with mining infrastructure investments expected to exceed $500 million by 2026.

“The launch of our Novotroitsk facility isn’t just about scaling mining — it’s a signal of how digital infrastructure can reshape regional economies,” said Artem Kartashev, CEO of Mining Depot.

Large-scale consumers like data centers help balance the grid through consistent load and drive the modernization of energy generation. As a result, residential electricity rates could drop by 3–5%, while local energy suppliers stand to gain over 1.5 billion rubles in annual revenue.

The site is beginning with partial capacity, giving early clients access to favorable terms. With robust infrastructure, strategic cooperation with AKKERMANN Cement, and optimized tariffs, Mining Depot’s Novotroitsk facility offers ideal conditions for business scaling and increased mining returns.
