Founded in 2016, Enyo Energy was created to help the Intermountain West harness its abundant natural gas, wind, and solar resources to meet the region’s and nation’s growing demand for reliable energy.
Led by founder Christine Mikell, Enyo brings together a deep respect for the land with a practical commitment to responsible development. Together with her funding partner, they have developed and built dozens of energy projects across the United States.
At Enyo, we believe progress happens through partnership. We treat landowners like family, work collaboratively with local governments, and build projects that deliver shared value for every stakeholder. Our values—open-mindedness, compromise, and respect—guide us along the way.
Christine is an entrepreneur, pioneer, and a dynamic and recognized leader in the energy field. As an engineer, she understands the complexities of electricity and the science of making energy available to the grid. Combined with her MBA, she understands how to make energy pay. What sets Christine apart is her ability to negotiate lease agreements with landowners, brief county commissions and city councils, and testify before state public service commissions.
In 2004, Christine moved from the Utah State Energy Office to the private sector when she joined a small energy developer and leveraged the relationships she had built at the state to move through the complicated process of energy development to complete Utah’s first renewable energy project.
Christine is both an outdoor enthusiast and energy realist and believes the west needs an all-of-the-above energy strategy to meet its growing energy demand, secure its energy independence, and win the global AI race.

Jacob graduated from the University of Wyoming where he studied Energy Resource Management & Development with a concentration in Professional Land Management. He developed a passion for decarbonization technology when he first learned of the Allam cycle in 8th grade.
During his time at UW, he worked at the Center for Economic Geology Research and the Hydrogen Energy Research Center, primarily as a Geographic Information Systems specialist. These projects benefited from Jacob’s skills in geospatial analysis, technical writing, suitability analysis, and legal and regulatory review. Specifically, the projects required his input and perspectives regarding carbon capture sequestration, rare earth element resource characterization, sustainable aviation fuel transport, blue/green hydrogen production, transport and storage, and supercritical water desalination oxidation.
At Enyo, Jacob’s educational background in Professional Land Management coupled with his research experience in emerging technologies dovetails with the team’s processes, particularly involving mapping, due diligence, compliance, and strategic energy initiatives.
Dallin supports the development of Enyo’s wind, solar, and storage projects, helping move them from early-stage evaluation through key development milestones. He works closely with landowners, consultants, local governments, regulatory agencies, and utilities on permitting, land acquisition, interconnection, and stakeholder engagement, keeping projects organized and identifying potential challenges early.
Dallin earned bachelor’s degrees in Marketing and Data Analytics from Utah State University. Before joining Enyo, he worked in energy development as a Development Coordinator. That experience gave him a practical understanding of what it takes to advance utility-scale energy infrastructure, and he pairs it with a data-driven approach to project management.
Dallin lives in Syracuse, Utah, with his wife and young son. He is a lifelong baseball player and fan and takes advantage of Utah’s outdoor recreation whenever he can.
