ICYMI: Bitcoin miner Greenidge’s permit renewal denied by New York regulators
Bitcoin miner Greenidge saw its air permit renewal denied by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation.
"Greenidge has failed to demonstrate that the continued operation of the Facility is justified notwithstanding this inconsistency," the letter to Greenidge stated, adding that the miner didn't demonstrate"adequate GHG mitigation measures." The DEC said that there was a"dramatic increase in greenhouse gas emissions" stemming from Greenidge's 106-megawatt facility in Dresden, as well as a shift in the power plant's primary focus.
"The reopening of the Facility was, according to Greenidge, for the purpose of producing electricity on a limited basis to be sold into the New York Independent System Operator market. That is, the Facility was to be utilized in a “peaking” capacity, providing a limited amount of electricity to the grid in certain circumstances," the DEC said.multiple times. The regulator said that it reviewed roughly 4,000 public comments.
