The Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) has seen a significant boost in revenue from electricity sales to data miners, generating $27 million in less than a year. While this is a positive development, it's essential to consider the potential implications for other sectors.

Experts argue that Ethiopia's growing reliance on data mining as a major source of electricity revenue could pose risks to the country's energy security. Suppose the demand from data mining companies continues to outpace the growth in overall electricity generation. In that case, there is a danger of creating a deficit that could impact other vital sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and households.

⭐ Semantic Versioning (SemVer)

is a versioning system that conveys meaning about the changes made in a release. The version format is:

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
Example: 2.5.3

▶️ MAJOR: Breaking changes. (Incompatible with previous versions)

▶️ MINOR: New features, but backward-compatible.

▶️ PATCH: Bug fixes or small improvements that don't add features.

SemVer helps maintain predictable updates by communicating the level of change, ensuring developers know when to expect compatibility or breaking changes.
