Current canonical record

This record tracks Red Butte Energy and Data Center Campus in Utah.

BrightNight's project page describes an Iron County campus about 8 miles north of Newcastle with more than 2 GW of hybrid power systems and a 1.5 GW data center, including 300 MW of solar, 1,200 MWh of battery storage, and 1.5 GW of natural gas power. Iron County says the Red Butte Data Center application was submitted May 4, 2026, deemed incomplete May 22, 2026, and is on hold under the county's 180-day moratorium adopted May 26, 2026. Status is recorded as planned because the application is on hold rather than canceled.
