Status context. The original DEQ process analysis explicitly describes NYDIG operating generators used to power small computing facilities at the named Kraken site. The accompanying assessment refers to existing computing operations. This supports agency reported existing operations at the time of that record. The permit becoming final and effective on November 15, 2025 does not itself establish a first computing opening or certify uninterrupted service today. The November 17 posting day is separate. Emissions limits, allowed equipment and modeled impacts are not measured emissions, installed capacity or current compliance findings.
Exact site not published; shown at county level. The dot is placed inside the county for the map and is not the site, its address or a parcel.
Dated record.
