POWER NEED
Santa Clara is a small but growing community near St. George in southern Utah. The city’s population grew more than 46 percent from 2000 to 2024. This was due to a booming economy driven by a favorable climate, affordable housing market and proximity to growing metropolitan areas such as Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. Such dramatic growth resulted in a strain on power resources felt by the municipality, businesses and residents.
Santa Clara is currently running two 3520Cs and two new G3520 Fast Response Units.
“The benefits go beyond the monetary savings. Reliability and performance also contribute to the success of the power system. “We ran the generator sets almost every day of July and August, 14 to 16 hours a day,” Brent Davis, power supervisor for the city.
