Another county in the U.S. state of Washington has blocked new utility applications from cryptocurrency mining outfits due to concerns over spiking energy demands.
According to a local news source on Sunday, commissioners from the Franklin County Public Utility District (PUD) ordered the temporary moratorium to make time for a study on the effects of the growing density of cryptocurrency mining farms on electricity supply in the region.
Franklin PUD added that it also plans to propose a new rate structure for miners as a response to their high demands.
Early this year, both Chelan and Mason counties also issued similar freezes on new cryptocurrency mining operations.
In April, Chelan also cut off electricity to three “unauthorized” farms that local officials said posed a risk to public safety.
