The New York Supreme Court has allowed Greenidge to continue operating its mining operations

A New York State Supreme Court ruling allows Greenidge Generation to continue generating electricity and mining bitcoin at its plant in Dresden, NY, and to reapply for a Clean Air Act Title V air permit that the New York State Department of Environmental Protection (DEC) rejected in June 2022.
Nonetheless, the court also affirmed DEC's authority to deny permits under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). The court found that DEC's decision was arbitrary and capricious, but there was no evidence of improper policy-making by DEC, meaning Greenidge's permit would be reconsidered.
