Nebraska Lawmakers Approve Crypto Mining Limits in Final Reading
Nebraska Lawmakers Approve Crypto Mining Limits in Final Reading

Nebraska lawmakers have unanimously passed LB 526, a bill imposing stringent regulations on large-scale cryptocurrency mining operations. The legislation mandates miners using 1 megawatt or more of power to cover infrastructure costs, report energy consumption, and accept potential service interruptions. Public utilities gain broad authority to manage grid impact under the new rules.
The move aligns Nebraska with a growing cohort of states tightening oversight on crypto mining’s energy demands. This contrasts with states like Arizona and Kentucky, which are expanding legal protections for miners and digital asset holders. The bill now awaits the governor’s decision to become law.
