Data center and energy infrastructure developer, Digi Power X, has been hit with a proposed class action lawsuit over alleged noise pollution from its cryptocurrency mining facility in North Tonawanda, New York.

The lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the Western District of New York on behalf of residents Sharon Demers, Karen Hance, and Mark Polito, alongside other locals from the region.

The complaint alleges that Digi Power X’s mining operations at 1070 Erie Avenue have subjected nearby residents to continuous industrial noise and low-frequency vibrations from cooling fans and other mining equipment.

Plaintiffs allege that the company’s mining operations have caused “substantial annoyance, emotional distress, loss of comfort and enjoyment, diminution in the value of their property and an increased risk of adverse health effects.”
