The big picture:

Utah is positioning itself as a global hub for AI infrastructure, and Delta is at the center of it.

What’s happening:

Creekstone Energy is developing the Creekstone Giga Site, one of the world’s largest AI-ready data center and energy campuses, designed for long-term, high-reliability AI workloads.

Why it matters:

  • AI requires massive, reliable power, and the U.S. needs domestic capacity to stay competitive.
  • Creekstone plans 10 gigawatts of new generation, with another 10 gigawatts targeted over time, potentially doubling Utah’s current power capacity.
  • The site emphasizes low-water, near-waterless data center design, which is critical in the West.

Why Delta:

  • Adjacent to major transmission infrastructure, including the Intermountain Power Plant
  • Located at key regional fiber crossroads
  • Supports a diverse energy mix, including solar, natural gas, existing baseload, and potential next-generation nuclear

The bottom line:

Creekstone’s Giga Site signals long-term investment, local jobs, and Utah’s growing role in powering the AI economy, from the grid up.
