Data Center Signal is tracking 18 clips about Creekstone Energy data center developments across 1 states, including UT.
A bipartisan Senate bill co-authored by Sen. Mike Lee would require data centers to pay the full cost of their electricity and any grid expansions needed to serve them. Creekstone Energy, developer of the $17 billion Delta Gigasite in Millard County, supports the proposal and says its project already follows that approach.
Creekstone Energy and Joule are developing large data center projects in Millard County, including Creekstone's planned 10-gigawatt campus near Delta. Supporters cite jobs, tax revenue and economic growth, while residents raise concerns about the projects' water use, energy demands, environmental effects and impact on rural life.
An opinion article argues that Utah should require data center developers to prove they have secured sufficient water before receiving permits or zoning approvals. It highlights Creekstone Energy's proposed 10-gigawatt campus near Delta and opposition to the Stratos project in Box Elder County, warning that large data centers could worsen the state's water scarcity.
Utah is experiencing a boom in data center development, with over 40 centers currently operating and dozens more proposed or under construction across several counties including Washington, Emery, Duchesne, and Box Elder. The Salt Lake Tribune is creating a map to track these developments and inviting community participation.
A new poll shows strong opposition among Utahns and Americans to building data centers near residential areas, even when framed against national security or economic benefits. This opposition is intensifying, with specific projects like the Stratos Project in Box Elder County facing significant community pushback and becoming a campaign issue for political candidates. State and federal governments are also considering increased regulatory policies for data centers.
Creekstone Energy, developing a massive data center near Delta, Utah, announced a patented technology called GIGAWATER that converts natural gas exhaust into water. This initiative, part of its Project Oasis, aims to make the campus water-positive in the arid West. The company is collaborating with the University of Utah for independent verification of this technology, which could generate 4,000 acre-feet of water annually.
Utah-based Creekstone Energy has developed a "GIGAWATER" system to capture water produced during natural-gas combustion. This technology is being evaluated by University of Utah researchers for potential uses in agriculture and industrial applications, including data centers. The company also aims to build a large data center campus powered by its own natural-gas generation.
Creekstone Energy announced a patent-pending Gigawater technology to generate 4,000 acre-feet of water annually from natural gas at its Delta Gigasite in Millard County, Utah. The company claims the process will make the facility water-positive, though it is currently theoretical and in partnership with the University of Utah for verification. Critics, however, question its scalability and overall impact on the state's water supply.
Creekstone Energy, a data center developer in Delta, Utah, claims to have developed a technology that can create water by burning natural gas. The company has commissioned the University of Utah to verify if this science can work at scale, with hopes of generating 4,000 acre-feet of water per year.
Creekstone Energy is developing a massive data center in Millard County, Utah, testing a new technology with the University of Utah to capture water from natural gas combustion. This innovation aims to create thousands of acre-feet of water annually in an arid region, but residents remain concerned about the project's overall impact on local water resources. The technology is currently in the research and testing phase.
A massive data center project by Creekstone Energy near Delta, Millard County, Utah, is proposing a new technology to create thousands of acre-feet of water annually for cooling. This approach aims to address local water concerns, but residents like Matt Barnhart remain skeptical about the project's overall impact on already strained water resources.
Creekstone Energy and the University of Utah are collaborating to test GIGAWATER technology, which aims to capture and convert water vapor from natural gas combustion into usable water. This initiative seeks to address Utah's severe drought conditions and potentially make the planned Delta Gigasite data center campus water-positive. Initial research results are anticipated by next summer.
Creekstone Energy is developing a massive data center in Millard County, Utah, near Delta. CEO Ray Connley claims they have technology to convert natural gas combustion emissions into 4,000 acre-feet of water annually, which is being reviewed by the University of Utah. The project is under construction, utilizing natural gas, solar, and geothermal power, and faces ongoing public opposition.
Creekstone Energy claims its Delta Gigasite, a massive data center campus in Millard County, Utah, will produce significantly more water than it consumes. The company states they have developed a new technology to achieve this in the arid region.
Delta City officials and Creekstone Energy are discussing an agreement for the city to provide water and sewer services to Creekstone's 1,100-acre data center campus located outside the city limits. This proposal could lead to the annexation of the land, potentially creating significant economic benefits for Delta City.
Utah is experiencing a data center boom, with hyper-scale projects like Stratus, Creekstone Energy, and Joule planned for Delta and Holden. These projects, supported by a presidential executive order aimed at easing regulations, are facing community opposition due to concerns about their rapid development and strain on the power grid and local resources.
Certarus is commissioning a new compressed natural gas (CNG) supply hub near Salt Lake City, Utah, to temporarily fuel a 60-megawatt hyperscale data center. This initiative addresses the strain on Utah's power grids due to rapid data center expansion, allowing facilities to operate while awaiting permanent grid connections. The strategy highlights broader state challenges, including a new law allowing data centers to source their own power and public opposition to large projects like Stratos due to energy and water concerns.
Creekstone Energy secured the largest solar lease in Utah history, totaling 13,000 acres from the state's Trust Lands Administration, to power its massive Delta Gigasite data center campus in Millard County. The company plans to generate over 1 gigawatt of solar power initially, with ambitions to manage 10 gigawatts from diverse sources. Local officials have already approved the necessary zoning for this project.
