Located behind the new 17,000 square-foot office of Lehi City Power, the Broadbent Generation Facility first opened in March 2018. It has six Cat G3520H generator sets and two CG260-16 generator sets that produce 22 MW of power during times of peak demand, when energy prices are high. This typically occurs during the summer months. Peak demand reached 120 megawatts this summer in Lehi.
“From all the indicators I’m seeing, there’s going to be a huge need for a product like this that is load following, can ramp quickly, and come offline quickly.”

POWER NEED
Located on the edge of Salt Lake and Utah counties at the north end of Utah Lake, Lehi sits at the nexus of technology firms migrating from California. The region encompasses a cluster of information technology, software development, and hardware manufacturing and research firms along the Wasatch Front.
With companies such as Adobe, Microsoft, and Xactware putting down roots within its service territory—and with a 134 percent increase in population since 2000—Lehi City Power realized it was time to replace its outdated facility with a new campus to keep pace with the explosive growth.
