Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 21, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Blockchain Power Corp. Hazelton Bitcoin Mining Site in Hazelton, Preston County, West Virginia appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Notes on the record

One of five Blockchain Power Corp. bitcoin-mining data centers on abandoned coal sites in West Virginia (Hazelton, Ben's Run, Tunnelton, Miracle Run, Blacksville). Salon quotes local reporting: "dropping five bitcoin mines into abandoned coal sites at Hazelton, Ben's Run, Tunnelton, Miracle Run and Blacksville." The operator's own site says the five sites are "constructed and energized" and provide a combined 107 MW, that figure is COMPANY-WIDE and is deliberately not attributed to this site, so capacityMw is left unset. Coordinates are the Hazelton community centroid, not a surveyed footprint. Blockchain Power Corp. is headquartered at 255 Northpointe Drive, Bruceton Mills, WV.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

Cooling method and water use
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
Land area
How the community has received it
Which utility serves it

Which document closes each gap

Cooling method and water use: The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy: The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised: The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area: The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
How the community has received it: Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
