CleanSpark Jellico bitcoin mining data center

CleanSpark Jellico bitcoin mining data center is in operation in Jellico, TN, run by a private operator. Reported capacity is 25 MW. CleanSpark disclosed in a 2024 SEC filing that it acquired Tennessee bitcoin-mining assets including a Jellico, Campbell County site, with 25MW allocated jointly across Jellico and neighboring West Crossville. The facility began operating (residents first noticed bill changes around Oct 2025) and by March 2026 sparked a 687-signature resident petition over electric bills spiking above $600-1000/month, which organizers attributed to the mine drawing on shared grid capacity; utility (Jellico Utilities Authority) and CleanSpark dispute causation, attributing spikes to extreme cold weather usage. Jellico city council later voted down (June 2026) a bitcoin-mine zoning ordinance it had passed a year earlier, citing drafting errors, and is reworking local rules. Exact facility street address not disclosed in coverage reviewed.
