List of power stations in Utah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Utah, sorted by type and name. In 2024, Utah had a total summer capacity of 10.3 GW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 35,133 GWh.[2] In 2025, the electrical energy generation mix was 48.1% coal, 30.8% natural gas, 14.9% solar, 2.2% hydroelectric, 2.1% wind, 1.3% geothermal, 0.2% biomass, 0.1% petroleum, and 0.4% other.[1]

Sources of Utah utility-scale electricity generation in gigawatt-hours, full-year 2025:[1]
  1. Coal: 18,007 (48.1%)
  2. Natural gas: 11,523 (30.8%)
  3. Solar: 5,565 (14.9%)
  4. Hydroelectric: 828 (2.21%)
  5. Wind: 799 (2.13%)
  6. Geothermal: 468 (1.25%)
  7. Biomass: 61 (0.16%)
  8. Petroleum: 31 (0.08%)
  9. Other: 160 (0.43%)

Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 1,105 GWh to Utah's electricity grid in 2025. This compares as less than one-fifth the amount generated by Utah's utility-scale PV plants.[1] Coal previously generated 81% of Utah's electricity in 2013 and has been undergoing a gradual replacement with natural gas and renewables.[3]
