Notes on the record
Lincoln-based Jigowatt began installing shipping-container-housed mining rigs (a mix of air-cooled and immersion-cooled containers) on Stanton Public Power District's (SPPD) grid near Stanton starting in 2023; SPPD created a discounted "interruptible" large-load electric rate to recruit/retain the customer. Jigowatt is now Stanton County's largest electricity customer by far and is seeking to roughly triple its allowed load, backed by a ~$20M ratepayer-funded distribution upgrade and an NPPD transmission project that has drawn eminent-domain objections from area landowners (reported June/July 2025). Neighbors half a mile or more away (e.g., the Wortmanns) report a persistent low-frequency hum/vibration and resulting health/property concerns; one neighbor abandoned plans to build a new home nearby. MW capacity not publicly disclosed in the coverage reviewed.
