Utah Municipal Power Agency (UMPA) has signed off on an agreement with sPower to provide renewable energy to six cities within the state by way of an 80MW PV installation.  This new solar plant, which will be constructed in Juab County, will be providing 80MW of renewable energy for member cities within UMPA’s service area. The site also represents a capital expenditure of approximately US$80 million into Juab County.  Since 1980, UMPA has been the electrical provider to the cities of Provo, Spanish Fork, Nephi, Salem, Manti and Levan. Provo Mayor Michelle Kaufusi said: “Since becoming mayor, we have been pushing for adding more renewable sources to Provo’s electricity mix. For some time, we have watched the growth of roof top solar in our community and now we will be adding this large solar project to the mix. Provo has been very active in reducing its carbon footprint based on the efforts of Provo’s Sustainability Committee and our energy efficiency programs. We are grateful for the employees at Provo Power in providing reliable service and keeping our lights on.” sPower will be the owner and operator of the Clover Creek project, which will employ approximately 300 workers during its 4-6 month construction phase. Despite boasting a PV/wind pipeline with over 1,650MW of installed capacity, the Clover Creek site stands as sPower’s first utility scale project developed in Utah, its home state.  sPower CEO Ryan Creamer said: “We are excited to be a long-term neighbor in Juab County, and look forward to creating supportive relationships with the county, school district and other local businesses. Developing solar power in Utah is important to sPower, because we live, work and play here – it is our home. Working cooperatively towards a common goal with UMPA, Rocky Mountain Power and numerous other teams has been critical in bringing this agreement together. I am proud of this milestone and the hard work that has been demonstrated to date.” Utah boasts a rather robust PV market, with nearly 800MW of PV capacity installed within the state over the last five years.  Earlier this month, the US Solar Fund (USF) closed on both the acquisition and financing of 100% of the cash equity interests in the 128MW Milford Solar Project, located in Beaver County, Utah. Construction on the installation is expected to begin immediately, with full commercial operations expected before the end of 2020.  In May, Facebook signed off on a PPA for 122MW worth of PV capacity that will be used to power the company’s Eagle Mountain data centre. Construction of the 122MW Cove Mountain 2 PV site is slated to start in late 2019 and lead to commercial launch during 2020.

Utah-based energy services carrier Power Innovations has actually introduced that it has actually efficiently completed a spots 48-hour examination with Hydrogen Fuel Cells. In the test, which set a brand-new Hydrogen Fuel Cell (HFC) record, the company powered a complete information centre web server lots-- 200 kW of hyperscale computers and computer system simulators-- for 48 continual hours with HFCs, increasing the previous record of 24 hours, which was established by the firm last year. By running 4 automobile gas cells in parallel to generate 10,500+ kWh of pollution-free power in 48 hrs, Power Innovation's Hydrogen Fuel Cell Innovation Lab established a brand-new record for hydrogen-generated computer system back-up power. This successful examination demonstrates that hydrogen power is a feasible, long duration, pollution-free solution to data centre main and backup power needs. What occurred throughout this historical 48-hour examination: 10,560 kWh of power was created 51 kg of hydrogen was taken in 7,000 + L of pure water was generated " Not many people learn about the international crisis handy related to data centres, however it's something that Power Innovations understands and is exerting to conquer. In the United States alone, information centres call for 90 billion kWh of electricity annually. To place that right into viewpoint, that's as much electricity as is produced in 34 large 500-megawatt coal-powered plants. The numbers are much more astonishing when thinking about the international footprint: roughly 416 terawatts of electricity are required to power data centres around the globe. As huge as these numbers are, they're only growing. Data centre capability increases every three years as well as electricity usage from information centres increases every 4. With this much-projected development, an option for tidy power is critical," the firm provided in its statement. Presently, information centres normally count on two sources of backup power- an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) as well as a diesel generator. The UPS tool takes over in the case of a power failure and acts as a transitional power supply for the 5-10 mins it requires to turn on a diesel generator. Well-maintained diesel generators can maintain power streaming for as long as they have gasoline. Nonetheless, they have substantial downsides, including not starting when required, being noisy and filthy, having high upkeep tasks and costs, and also creating an excessive quantity of vibrations and also undesirable carbon discharges. Alternatively, Hydrogen Fuel Cells supply several benefits over standard UPS and also diesel generator back-up remedies. HFCs load a typical UPS and also generator done in one device-- eliminating twin maintenance costs as well as flooring room. HFCs are virtually maintenance free, vibration cost-free, silent, and also can produce bountiful, tidy power for days on end. " HFCs create absolutely no carbon exhausts despite for how long they are run. That indicates they can be safely used interior or outdoor-- a significant advantage to current options," noted Robert L Mount-- CEO as well as Founder of Power Innovations. In addition, with HFCs you obtain power plus water as well as heating/cooling. "We're not only providing power to maintain the requirements of life and also service, but we're likewise providing substantial amounts of distilled water. When was the last time your diesel generator offered you water?" " This special test has offered reliability for a fuel cell application for data centres, which changes both the UPS and also the diesel generator as well as generates no carbon emissions."
