Project updates

On Thursday, December 16, 2021, AES Clean Energy and UMPA hosted a celebration of the energization of the Clover Creek 80 MW solar facility. A panel discussion with elected officials and renewable development professionals was the feature presentation at the event. The participants discussed how Utah benefits from renewable development, what obstacles to address, and how communities can benefit from jobs, tax revenue, and engagement.

During the event, AES pledged to donate $10,000 to Juab County School District.
