Governor of  Utah Spencer Cox stated: “This project is being built in rural Utah, by rural Utahns, and for all of Utah. When rural Utah thrives, the entire state prospers.

“Today, we’re not just breaking ground — we’re building a future of affordable, abundant energy in Utah.”

The project will deliver clean energy to  PacifiCorp under a power purchase agreement (PPA).

The project secured more than $1bn in construction debt financing in early 2024 and will create 500 jobs.
