Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 15, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Grant Town Power Plant Cryptocurrency Mining Containers in Grant Town, Marion 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

DELIBERATELY LOW CONFIDENCE. The only evidence is a April 16, 2026 Times West Virginian report identifying two containers on the plant premises that appear to match the BIT-Ram Mighty POD, a 30-foot containerised mining unit, via Google satellite imagery and reverse image search. Counsel for AMBIT, the plant manager and owner Horizon Ventures all declined to comment or did not respond. The paper also reports AMBIT billed American Projects Development nearly $6 million in March 2026 for "640 MWh Power use" against a Mon Power PPA covering 80 MW. Context: the WV PSC rejected a 2021 to 22 American Bituminous proposal to exit its Mon Power contract in order to monetise the plant through cryptocurrency mining. No capacity is recorded, container counts are not a sourced megawatt figure. Do not promote this record's confidence without a named operator or a filing.

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.

Power capacity in megawatts
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

Power capacity in megawatts: The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
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.
