    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Alberta Utilities Commission has fined Avex Energy more than $240,000 for running a natural gas-fired generator while bypassing regulatory tests for safe and unobtrusive operation.

    According to an agreed statement of facts, officials from what was then Avila Energy approached the commission with plans to build a generating station in the County of Stettler in the summer of 2019.

    In December, the AUC ordered a Vancouver company to pay more than $400,000 in penalties and legal expenses for having multiple unsanctioned cryptocurrency mines in Alberta.

    The commission investigated Green Block Mining after residents in 10 households complained about noise from a natural gas plant near Greystone Manor, a neighbourhood in Sturgeon County, north of Edmonton.

    The company, formerly known as Link Global, had set up four 1.25-megawatt gas generators on the site, powering computer servers that were mining digital currency.

    The AUC also learned that the company had two other plants — one in southern Alberta’s Special Area 3 and another in Westlock County, north of Edmonton.
