UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR & SOLAR + BESS

rPlus leaders have been publicly recognized for pioneering clean energy development in regions with untapped solar potential. Take Utah, a state with enough solar potential to power the entire United States.  rPlus Energies team members have been instrumental in opening Utah’s market for utility-scale solar development. With the 80 MW Utah Red Hills Renewable Park in Iron County, the team commissioned Utah’s first utility-scale solar plant in 2015, more than doubling the state’s solar footprint at that time.  The following year, also in Iron County, they completed development of the 80 MW Three Peaks Power solar plant, and commenced development of the 200 MW Appaloosa Solar, which started construction in 2022.

Fast forward to 2024, rPlus counts six utility-scale solar projects in active development, construction or operation in multiple counties across Utah and Idaho. Totaling over 1 GW of renewable energy capacity, these projects include the commissioned and operating 80 MW Graphite Solar project located in Carbon County, Utah, and the 400 MW solar plus 400 MW battery Green River Energy Center under construction in Emery County, Utah, both known for their tradition and culture of coal mines and coal-fired power plants, some of which have already closed. Within the ongoing national transition to a clean energy economy, rPlus Energies can and will continue working resolutely to help these counties maintain their legacy as, and help other counties around the American West become, energy exporters.
