 20%?! That seems a lot. 
 The closure of the Bitcoin mine means that the average household in Hadsel could see an additional annual cost of approximately $280 USD on their electricity bills. This increase is a direct consequence of the local power company, Noranett, needing to compensate for the lost income from the mining facility's operations
