We bring and pay for our own power
Zero draw on the municipal grid.
We keep the air clean
Near-zero local air emissions.
We use water carefully
A fraction of typical use.
Same building, better use
Adaptive reuse, no new structure.
A good neighbor
Meaningful community contribition.
We Bring Our Own Power, So We Don't Take Yours.
100%
Off-grid fuel cell generation
No interconnection to Spanish Fork Power. Not even as backup. No transmission upgrades, no substation, no rate impact, no capacity taken from city growth.
Zero
Diesel generators on site
Modular blocks are individually serviceable while the rest carry load.
Confirmed
Enbridge gas capacity
A new dedicated lateral means zero impact on existing residential or commercial gas customers.
No Combustion. No Flame. No Fumes.
The Bloom Energy Server 6.5 makes electricity through an electrochemical reaction rather than by burning fuel. It is the same category of technology used in spacecraft power systems, adapted for large-scale, grid-independent generation.
1.5 + GW Deployed, 1,200 states worldwide, referenced by Oracle, Intel and Equinix
The Emissions That Matter Locally, Addressed.
Utah County sits in the Southern Wasatch Front ozone non-attainment area, where nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the pollutant regulators watch most closely.
This Facility
5.17 tons/yr
Entire permitted annual NOx total. About 2,050 cars.
Spanish Fork Traffic
106 tons/yr
From roughly 42,000 city vehicles alone.
Utah County Traffic
1,640 tons/yr
From roughly 650,000 vehicles countywide.
Permit Status
Approved
Minor Source air permit approved by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality.
All figures in tons per year. Facility NOxper air-quality permit application. Traffic NOx from Utah DAQ/EPA MOVES mobile-source inventory estimates.
We Use Water Carefully.
Cooling
Closed loop
No evaporative towers, no plume.
Initial fill
500,000 gal
Two Utah households for one year.
Annual usage
250,000 gal
One Utah County household
Commitment
Within permit
Under the permitted allocation.
"We are not requesting any additional water rights."
If we used evaporative towers
650M + gal/yr
= 3,400 Utah County households
What we actually use
250k gal/yr
One Utah household
Based on Utah County's 2024 per-capita consumptive water use (155 gal/pearsoon/dau/ Central Utah Water Concervancy District, filed with the Utah Division of Water Rights, June 2025) x 3.39 persons/household (U.S. Census Bureau, Utah County, 2020-20224 ACS 5-yrest.)
Same Building, New Purpose.
Where we are building
This land already reads as energy and logistics infrastructure.
Sits at the canyon mouth, beside the existing wind turbines
Adjacent to the active rail line
Fronts the highway corridor
Existing industrial building, No greenfield construction
<65 dBA
Noise at 10 ft per unit. Conversation level. Property-line acoustic study underway.
No change
To the skyline. Interior fit-out of an existing building only.
Dark-sky
Compliant exterior lightning throughout the site.
~$4B
Total project investment covering retrofit, fuel cells, electrical, fire, security, and engineering.
From 3,500 Trucks a Month to a Few Dozen Cars a Day
Today — Active distribution use
36 Loading bays. About 3,500 trucks a month, or 35,000 truck-miles a month at a 10-mile round trip to the freeway corridor.
≈692 metric tons CO2 | ≈ 101 kg NOx | ≈4.2 kg PM.2.5 per year, at this baseline volume.
After — Data Center Operations
100 to 200 employee vehicle trips a day, with no recurring heavy-truck traffic
No loading-dock operations; the yard holds fuel cells, not freight
The baseline traffic emissions are effectively eliminated, not added to
The truck traffic this site generates today is the baseline. This project doesn't add to it. It removes it.
A Major Taxpayer, And a Present Neighbor.
~$40M
Per year in combined property taxes.
One of the largest tax bills in the county,
with the largest share flowing to Nebo School District.
400-600
Peak construction workers during the retrofit.
100-200
Permanent full-time roles in operations, security, controls, and Bloom maintenance.
Direct Contribution & Covenant
More than $500,000 in direct contribitions.
Professional industry training and education
Nebo School District CTE pathways and UVU engineering internships
Paid apprenticenships
Local presence: sponsorships, local hiring preference, and a standing
community liaison
Property tax based on estimated project value at a combined Utah County / Spanish Fork / Nebo SD rate of ~0.9-1.0%, declining as personal property depreciates. Pending confirmation with the Utah County Assessor.
We'll Put This in the Development Agreement
Council has heard confident promises from data center developers before. Our answer is to volunteer enforceability, in writing, in the agreement itself.
Water use cap
No-grid-interconnection covenant
Decommissioning plan: modular skids, removable by truck
Enforceable noise limit at the property line
No-diesel covenant
Annual public reporting on all of the above
