Energy

Utah’s future is bright, but keeping the lights on—and ensuring our state remains a leader in innovation and economic growth—requires bold action. By 2050, we must at least triple our current energy production to meet the growing demands of artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, advanced manufacturing and other essential sectors.

Powering Utah’s Future through energy independence ensures affordable energy, economic growth and a sustainable high quality of life for Utahns—not just for today, but for generations to come.

To meet these needs, we’re continuing to build a strong all-of-the-above energy strategy—which includes geothermal, natural gas, coal and small modular nuclear reactors—to ensure reliable, affordable and safe energy for Utahns while keeping our economy strong.

Utah has the cheapest electricity in the nation, and we are committed to keeping it that way. Our state’s history of providing affordable energy has played a vital role in our strong economy and high quality of life.

Energy isn’t just about keeping the grid running; it powers every aspect of our lives. It charges our phones, fuels our transportation and keeps our homes comfortable year-round. It impacts everything from food prices to electricity costs, shaping our daily experiences in ways we often take for granted.

Fortunately, Utah is well-positioned to lead. With vast geothermal resources, coal, natural gas and emerging technologies like next-generation small modular nuclear reactors, our diverse energy portfolio is not only securing Utah’s future but strengthening America’s energy independence. By embracing innovation and leveraging our rich resources, Utah is on track to become a global energy powerhouse.
