This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Utah, sorted by type and name. In 2020, Utah had a total summer capacity of 9,263 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 37,087 GWh.[2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix in 2021 was 61.8% coal, 24.7% natural gas, 8.1% solar, 1.9% wind, 1.8% hydroelectric, 0.8% geothermal, and 0.2% biomass. Waste heat recovered from industrial operations and oil (0.4%) generated the remainder.[1]

Sources of Utah electricity generation: full-year 2021[1]

  Coal (61.8%)
  Natural Gas (24.7%)
  Hydroelectric (1.8%)
  Wind (1.9%)
  Biomass (0.2%)
  Solar (8.1%)
  Geothermal (0.8%)
  Waste Heat and Oil (0.4%)

Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 654 GWh to Utah's electricity grid in 2021. This compares as less than one-fifth the amount generated by Utah's utility-scale PV plants.[1] Coal previously generated 81% of Utah's electricity in 2013 and has been undergoing a gradual replacement with natural gas and renewables.[3]
