The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has decided to stop the data collection about energy consumption during crypto mining activities. The decision comes after a lawsuit was filed by industry participants including The Texas Blockchain Council and Riot Platforms to stop the data collection.
US EIA to Stop Survey on Energy Consumption During Crypto Mining
In response to a lawsuit from an industry organization and one of its members, the Energy Information Administration has decided to discontinue its emergency acquisition of energy use data from cryptocurrency businesses.
A notice issued on Friday stated that the parties to the litigation have reached a mutual understanding. EIA is required by that agreement to “destroy any information” it has already received and to stop conducting the survey. According to the filing, the EIA will publish a new notice on the survey that will enable public comments.
