Epicenter of energy
Let's take a moment to reflect on the immense energy revolution that's currently happening right in our backyard. From the stunning mountain ranges of the Wasatch Front to the vast plains of the Uintah Basin, Utah is becoming an electrifying epicenter for energy innovation and transformation.
Energy transformation is more than just a shift in how we power our world—it’s a testament to human potential and our capacity to innovate. Here in Utah, we're experiencing this firsthand. We're creating groundbreaking infrastructure, fostering innovative talent, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. It's about flourishing opportunities, sparking ideas into action, and witnessing the potential of energy in real-time. This is Utah, where the energy revolution thrives.
The energy sector is already a trillion-dollar industry and it’s projected to grow exponentially in the years ahead. With its rich resources, strategic location, and ambitious vision, Utah is perfectly positioned to capitalize on this.
We're leveraging our existing resources, our crucial position as a transmission hub for the West, and our dynamic partnerships to build a future that's sustainable, vibrant, and full of opportunity.
Show Me The Money!!!
The energy sector is already a trillion-dollar industry and it’s projected to grow exponentially in the years ahead.
Take, for example, the inspiring project of transforming an old power plant into a baseball team. It’s not just about building a team but about revitalizing our community, showcasing creativity, and symbolizing progress in our beloved Salt Lake City. Exciting things are on the horizon, and our journey is just beginning.
That site, home to the new HQ for Rocky Mountain Power, is working on incredible ideas. This includes the president and CEO Gary Hoogeveen, who was recently seen on ABC (2:00) discussing innovative nuclear power initiatives with Bill Gates. Talk about Big League Utah, such high-profile collaborations underline the vast potential and exciting developments ahead.
Have you heard of pump storage? Thanks to Salt Lake City-based rPlus, it's becoming the next big thing in energy storage with the Gardner Company, Luigi Resta, and Theresa Foxley behind it.
Pumping Up The Storage!
Imagine a funfair where electricity becomes a thrilling ride, transforming excess power into potential energy that's ready for use when needed. This is the kind of innovation that's putting Utah on the map as a leading player in the energy revolution.
Moreover, Utah is proving to be a shining beacon in the clean energy space, thanks to the tireless efforts of Amanda Smith, Carter Livingston, and the AES team. As one of the state's leading clean energy developers, AES invests in a safe and reliable transition to clean energy, provides workforce development and training, and helps Utah emerge as a leader in solar energy capacity.
And let's not forget about the rural areas of Utah, where the vast landscapes are ripe for ground-breaking energy projects. With support from the Department of Energy, ambitious initiatives like Advanced Clean Energy Storage LLC's industrial $504M green hydrogen storage facility and Utah FORGE's innovative geothermal energy research are taking shape.
Together, let's continue blazing the trail toward a brighter future. Utah's energy revolution is not just a story of progress; it's a tale of unity, collaboration, and shared determination. We invite you to join us on this incredible journey as we unlock the boundless potential of clean and sustainable energy.
As we stand at the epicenter of this electrifying revolution, let's remember that the energy transformation extends far beyond our immediate surroundings. It has the power to inspire and influence the world. By setting an example and proving the viability of sustainable energy solutions, we can ignite a global movement towards a greener, more prosperous planet.
So, dear friends, let's embrace the limitless possibilities before us. There are plenty I couldn’t share today. Let's continue to dream big, think boldly, and act decisively. Together, we can shape history and propel the energy revolution forward with unstoppable momentum. Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey. The future is bright, and together, we will illuminate the world with the power of Utah's energy transformation.
Our region’s future is bright thanks to your dedication, ingenuity, and energy.
