It began as a vision in the early 1970's:
"Provide a reliable supply of economical power to growing
communities throughout the American West."
Construction of the Intermountain Power Project commenced in 1981. Fueled by Utah's abundant coal reserves, the project is designed to operate efficiently for decades to come. The Intermountain Power Project consistently ranks among the best of America's coal-based power plants in reliability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental responsibility.
The Intermountain Power Project (IPP), owned by Intermountain Power Agency (IPA), provides electrical power for residents of California and Utah.
The major IPP facilities located in Utah include: the Intermountain Generating Station, the Intermountain Converter Station, and the Intermountain Railcar Service Center. The Intermountain Power Service Corporation (IPSC) has contracted with IPA to perform operating and maintenance work at these facilities, under the direction of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Operating Agent for IPP.
The 4,640 acre generating station site houses two 950 megawatt steam electric generating units. Each of these units will require more than two million tons of coal and 10,000 acre feet of water annually.
The Intermountain Power Project is designed, constructed, and operated with dual objectives: to ensure a reliable economic source of power to IPP participants and to provide the greatest practical degree of environmental protection.
