Power and water
Operator claims '100% Renewable Hydro Power'; supply arrangement not verified.
Notes on the record
Small crypto-hosting operator (also runs a larger Hennepin, IL site). The 8 MW figure and address are the operator's own listing; the operator markets '100% renewable hydro power' (Plattsburgh municipal hydro context), not independently verified. The city is considering a new 12-month moratorium on facilities ≥300 kW (Local Law P-2 of 2026, hearing 2026-09-03), which would not affect an existing use.
