Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:GREE), a finance services company involved in crypto assets, announced today that its Dresden, New York facility has received an extension on the suspension of operations until November 14, 2024. This development follows a temporary restraining order request filed by the company's subsidiary, Greenidge Generation LLC, after the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation denied the renewal of the facility's Title V Air Permit.
The denial, which has led to a legal challenge, prompted Greenidge to seek a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to allow continued operations at the Dresden facility while the legal process unfolds. The hearing on this matter took place today, resulting in an agreement between Greenidge and the Department to extend the stay, which was originally set to expire on November 1, 2024.
The extended stay, now set to last until mid-November, will allow the Dresden facility to operate without ceasing air contamination sources or relinquishing the Title V Air Permit. The court is expected to make a decision on the temporary restraining order request or on the company's broader challenge to the permit denial before the new stay expires.
Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. is committed to keeping stakeholders informed and will provide further updates on the legal proceedings as deemed necessary. This information is based on a press release statement and the latest 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
