Blockchain data center considered as possible reuse for historic Rainbow Powerhouse in Great Falls, Montana

The historic Rainbow Powerhouse on the Missouri River may be getting new life.

In May, Susteen, Inc. of Irvine, Cali. submitted a proposal to install a block chain model data center in the former powerhouse, which is owned by NorthWestern Energy.

NWE has until July 30 to submit a plan to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on whether it will reuse or demolish the 1910 building.

NWE said Monday that the company is looking at all of the options for the powerhouse.
