Intermountain Power Project Renewed

Delta, Utah · Generation

In service — documented

LADWP reported using the new natural-gas units in December 2025. Hydrogen blending remained a future step in the cited announcement.

This replacement has an 840 MW rating versus the former coal plant’s 1,800 MW. Do not add the two ratings together or treat future hydrogen capability as current fuel use.

Capacity is not annual energy output or guaranteed availability. MW and MWh describe different quantities.

The documented hurdles

No specific blocking cause established in the linked record.

The dated trail

  1. New gas-fired units reported in use

    The utility says the new units run on natural gas and describes hydrogen blending as planned.
