Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 10, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Genesis Digital Assets Union-Lockhart Bitcoin Mining Data Centers in Lockhart, Union County, South Carolina 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.

Power and water

Reporting states the Pacolet center sits about three miles from two hydroelectric generation plants operated by Lockhart Power.

Notes on the record

Deliberately recorded as one multi-site record rather than two, because the source gives only a combined 15 MW figure and locates both facilities as 'between Union and Lockhart' with no addresses; splitting them would require inventing per-site capacity. Coordinates are the Lockhart, SC centroid and are illustrative only. Re-checked 2026-09-10: no status change found, and no new fillable field secured -- absence-of-adverse-signal only, not an independent confirmation of continued operation. The facility's cited source (scbiz.com, re-fetched today) remains the most recent primary account: two facilities between Union and Lockhart, combined 15MW, running since March 2023, sited near two Lockhart Power hydroelectric plants. I independently confirmed Lockhart Power Company is a real, currently-operating utility (hydro + solar generation, active economic-development program as of a fetch today) -- consistent with, but not independent confirmation of, the 2023 account. I could NOT locate Union County SC's own official government website this session (unioncountysc.org 301-redirects to an unrelated education-grant site, gearupunionsc.com; unioncountysc.gov/.com do not resolve; a South Carolina Association of Counties lookup 404'd), so no county-council-minutes or FILOT-ordinance check was possible for Union County specifically (unlike the parallel Anderson County check I was able to do for the sibling record). Also could NOT check SC PSC dockets or FERC eLibrary (both JS-only SPAs, no content via static fetch) or run a general web search (WebSearch quota exhausted before I started this session; DuckDuckGo/Bing/Marginalia direct fetches all hit CAPTCHA/anomaly-detection walls; web.archive.org was reporting 'Temporarily Offline'). investmentUsd, landAcres, water, location.street/postalCode, subsidies, and aiClassification remain unresolved for these tooling reasons, not as a confirmed absence. As with the Anderson record, the source's '150 jobs / 125 local contractors' figure is an explicit COMBINED total across all three GDA South Carolina sites (Anderson + the two Union/Lockhart facilities) with no per-site split given, so `jobs` is deliberately not filled here either -- filling it would double-count against the Anderson record. `community` is not filled for the same reason as the sibling record: the only reception language present is GDA's own press-release self-description, not documented independent public reception.

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.

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.
