Location
The map below shows the exact location of the Red Dog Technologies Washington County facility near Limestone, Tennessee, USA.
Background
The project is located at an existing substation on land owned by BrightRidge, the local electricity supplier. After the facility became operational, local residents began filing complaints with Washington County related to excessive noise generated by the large fans used to cool the mining rigs.[1] Although the megawattage of the facility is unknown, reports have indicated that it uses as much electricity as about 10,000 homes, which according to 2020 data from the Energy Information Administration, amounts to approximately 12 MW.[2]
After a number of lawsuits and county hearings, Red Dog Technologies agreed to move the operation to the Washington County Industrial Park near Jonesborough. At the latest, this move would be completed by December of 2023.[3]
