Utah Gov. Gary Herbert on Thursday announced the formation of a partnership that is expected to result in the world’s largest “clean energy storage” project, to be developed in underground salt domes in Millard County.
This rural Utah investment, known as the Advanced Clean Energy Storage, “demonstrates the power of the forward-looking energy policy” he has advanced, said Herbert during his annual Energy Summit in Salt Lake City’s Grand America Hotel.
“I’m proud that Millard County’s skilled workforce, strategic energy infrastructure and unique geological salt domes have put Utah on the map as the epicenter of utility-scale storage for the western United States,” he said.
