Intermountain Healthcare Going Solar with Major Renewable Energy Project in Emery County
Intermountain Healthcare is taking a major step in sustainability by joining a utility-scale solar project near Huntington, Utah, that will supply 20 percent of the health system’s total electricity needs.
The new power purchase agreement from the Castle Solar Project, owned and being developed by D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments (DESRI), will supply Intermountain facilities with clean renewable energy for the next 20 years.
“This is Intermountain’s biggest step in our commitment to help create a cleaner environment in the communities we serve,” said Mikelle Moore, senior vice president and chief community health officer at Intermountain Healthcare. “We want to help drive the solutions that will clean our air and make us more sustainable in the future.”
The project is made possible by Intermountain’s partnership with DESRI, a leading national renewable energy developer-owner-operator, Enyo Renewable Energy, a Utah-based wind and solar developer, and Rocky Mountain Power.
