EDMONTON — The Alberta Utilities Commission is fining another electricity generator that powered bitcoin mining for operating without a licence.The regulator has assessed a $10,000 fine against Alberta-based Energy Sustain Services for operating the facility in Brazeau County, southwest of Edmonton.
Documents say the company agreed with an energy producer to generate power using natural gas from a well that was no longer connected to a pipeline.The regulator says the infraction was discovered through noise complaints from neighbours. The generator has since been replaced with one that falls beneath the capacity threshold for regulatory oversight.
In February, the commission fined Avex Energy for operating a natural-gas fired generator without a licence that powered bitcoin mines.This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 9, 2024.
