  • UIPA has approved an incentive for Dominguez Grid, LLC, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, to develop a 200 megawatt battery energy storage system in the Northwest Quadrant project area. Battery energy storage is a powerful solution that enables traditional renewables like solar and wind to be more flexible throughout the day. It stores excess power during low-demand times and releases it during peak periods, reducing reliance on natural gas and promoting a sustainable energy mix. UIPA has proposed a 20%, post-performance, annual property tax rebate for up to 25 years as an incentive, contingent on the facility's operational status and minimal water usage. This $314 million project will significantly enhance Salt Lake’s energy capacity, especially during peak demand periods. This approval highlights UIPA's commitment to sustainable development and attracting green technology investments, marking a major step towards a cleaner, more resilient energy future for Utah. Looking to invest in a thriving hub of innovation and sustainable development? Discover the opportunities in the Northwest Quadrant.
