We develop projects in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arizona. With our partner, we have developed facilities that are now operational that generate more than 780,000 Megawatts per year producing enough clean energy to power over 80% of the greater Salt Lake County homes.

The Elektron Solar Project is a wonderful example of a project developed and sold by Enyo. Watch the video below for more information on the Elektron Solar Project.

The elektron project

The Elektron Solar Project, originally developed by Enyo, is an 80 MW solar farm now operating in Tooele County, Utah. The output of the solar project benefits six customers– three local government entities (Salt Lake City, Park City, and Summit County), one higher education institution (Utah Valley University) and two ski resorts (Deer Valley and Park City Mountain Resort). Online since May 2024, Elektron is among the largest solar generators connected to the Rocky Mountain Power system.

Castle Solar

The 40MW Castle Solar Project, originally developed by Enyo, is located in Emery County, Utah just west of the city of Huntington. The output of the project will be purchased by Intermountain Health and the University of Utah. Purchasing power from the Castle Project means twenty percent of the health system’s total electricity needs are being met from the solar generation, a major step for Intermountain Health’s sustainability goals. The University of Utah continues to be a leader in green energy and sustainability by signing a 25-year solar energy contract with Castle Solar. The contract will deliver 20 MW of solar energy to campus over its lifespan, powering the university toward its commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050. A geothermal energy contract signed in 2018 made the U the first public college in the state to receive more than half of its electricity through renewable sources. The new solar contract will bring the university to 71% of all electrical energy coming from renewable sources and lands the flagship university in the top twenty in total renewables among all colleges and universities as of April 2024. [ EPA’s Green Power Partnership ] The solar energy contract has additional ties to the local environment and economy. It will utilize state trust lands in Utah, which have been set aside to support public schools and institutions. The use of this land will return some funds to the state through the lease agreement. The innovative use of Rocky Mountain Power’s Schedule 32 rate tariff for the power purchase agreements between the U, Rocky Mountain Power, and each renewable energy supplier allows large energy customers in Utah to choose their energy source. With the U leading the way along with Intermountain Health, other large energy users in the community are now preparing to utilize this same structure. Castle Solar reached its commercial operation date in April 2024.

Horseshoe Solar​

Horseshoe Solar is a 75 MW utility scale solar facility near Grantsville, Utah, in Toole County. Enyo worked with Utah Trust Lands Administration, “Horseshoe Solar is a 75 MW utility scale solar facility near Grantsville, Utah, in Toole County. Enyo worked with Utah Trust Lands Administration, the State Historic Preservation Office, and local land and historic preservation groups to site the solar facility with minimal disturbance to the historic California Trail and to allow continued access to this important notable route. The project is a true testament to Enyo’s ability to collaborate with the community, while respecting community-wide interests. The output of the project, now operating, will be purchased by Meta.

Rocket Solar​

Rocket Solar is an 80 MW solar facility outside of Corinne in Box Elder County, Utah. Its clean solar energy is delivered to Meta under the Schedule 34 Renewable Energy Tariff and is designed to help Meta’s datacenter in Eagle Mountain meet its goal of supporting its regional operations with 100% renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 75%. The Rocket and Horseshoe solar projects were initially developed and permitted by Enyo Renewable Energy, and a commercial operation date was inked in February 2024.

Roundhouse Wind​

Roundhouse Wind Energy is in Laramie County, Wyoming, west of Cheyenne and south of Interstate 80. The project consists of approximately 82 turbines and generates 225 megawatts of power, which is purchased by Platte River Power Authority (PRPA).

The additional renewable power has moved PRPA’s energy to about 50% from noncarbon sources, halfway to its goal. The carbon-based electrical output comes from generators powered by coal and natural gas.

The project took flight after Platte River’s board directed the staff to add new wind power capacity to the public power provider’s portfolio in mid-2017.

Roundhouse nearly triples the amount of wind power Platte River delivers to its owner communities in Colorado: Loveland, Fort Collins, Estes Park and Longmont. While the original agreement called for 150 megawatts of energy, Platte River committed to acquire the remaining 75 megawatts in June 2019.

Roundhouse began commercial operations in December 2023.

“Completion of the Roundhouse wind project is one significant step of many we will need to take on the path toward achieving a 100% noncarbon energy portfolio,” said Jason Frisbie, general manager and CEO of Platte River.

Steel solar

Steel Solar, originally developed by Enyo, is an 80 MW solar facility that covers approximately 1,670 acres of vacant agricultural land adjacent to Nucor Steel, located in northeast Box Elder County, Utah, near the junction of Interstate 15 (I-15) and State Route 13 (SR 13), northwest of the Town of Plymouth. The power from the 80 MW project has been contracted to various municipalities served by Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems. Steel began operating in May 2024.

Anticline Wind

The Anticline Wind Project, originally developed by Enyo,  is a proposed wind generating facility that will be located approximately 22 miles north of Casper, Wyoming, near Interchange 210 on I-25 North and the unincorporated community of Antelope Hills. Anticline Wind Project is permitted for 52 turbines to generate up to 175MW of electricity, or about 1.6 times the electricity needed to power up all of Natrona County residential customers. Completion of the Anticline Wind Project will help generate substantial economic benefits in Natrona County. Additionally, the Anticline Wind Project will generate property tax revenue for Natrona County taxing entities. The benefiting entities include the schools, hospital, recreation services, and the library system among others. This project will also create construction jobs, boost the lodging industry, and bring other sources of revenue to local businesses. With a Power Purchase Agreement in place with PacifiCorp, construction is underway and Anticline should be operating by the end of 2024.

Hornshadow

Under construction in Emery County, Utah, Hornshadow Solar is a project originally conceived and executed by Enyo Energy and sold to D.E. Shaw Renewable Investments. The total area is more than 2300 acres, about a quarter of which is on state trust lands that will generate 62 megawatts (MW) of clean energy, a portion of the whole. The project is comprised of 300 MW photovoltaic (solar) and 75 MW of storage known as BESS—Battery Energy Storage Systems. These rechargeables store the solar energy for future use, adding a layer of reliability which can provide backup power and improve grid stability. The project is sited on private and state lands, with an essential collector line crossing federal land overseen by the Bureau of Land Management, which says at completion the project could power the equivalent of 70,000 homes.

Current Projects

Sugar Beet Solar

Sugar Beet Solar is a utility-scale solar project that will generate 40 megawatts of electricity. Project plans include an adjacent 25 MW battery energy storage system and 19 neighboring acres of dedicated open space for a community park. The project will produce energy to power approximately 10,000 Colorado homes per year for the next 40 years when connected to the adjacent Longs Peak substation. To accommodate the project across 327 acres, two parcels are owned by Sugar Beet Solar and two parcels are leased by Sugar Beet Solar west of Mead, Colorado. The solar panels will be connected to each other and to an on-site substation with underground lines. Sugar Beet’s battery storage will be the first in the region, with potential to provide power in the event of a grid outage, offering a layer of reliability.

Projections show that Sugar Beet Solar will generate $90,000 in property tax revenue in its first operating year, and 1.9 million over the life of the project, and more than 3.25 million in local sales and use tax related to construction.
