Zeo, Creekstone Plan 280 MW Behind-the-Meter Power for Utah AI Data Center
Zeo Energy has signed a non-binding MOU with Creekstone Energy to develop 280 MW of baseload power for a Utah AI data center, combining solar generation and long-duration energy storage.
(P&GJ) — Zeo Energy Corp. has signed a memorandum of understanding with Creekstone Energy LLC to develop approximately 280 megawatts of baseload power to support a data center project under construction in Millard County, Utah.
“The Creekstone collaboration is an opportunity to validate the application of our expertise in renewable power generation and long-duration storage to increase power delivery for data center customers in a cost-effective, low-emissions manner," said Tim Bridgewater, CEO of Zeo. "We expect our ability to access the public capital markets to provide project financing could give us a competitive edge in our business development efforts.”
The agreement outlines plans to combine solar generation with long-duration energy storage to provide firm power for Creekstone’s “Gigasite,” a multi-phase development intended to serve artificial intelligence and cloud computing customers.
Creekstone broke ground on the site in December 2025 and plans to deliver more than 300 MW of gas-fired generation to customers in the first half of 2027. The company has previously announced a power agreement of up to 50 MW with Blue Sky AI Inc. for early site operations. Longer term, Creekstone aims to expand the site’s generation capacity into the multi-gigawatt range.
Under the MOU, Zeo has initiated a pre-feasibility study to evaluate solar and storage configurations capable of delivering firm, dispatchable output. The framework also contemplates potential project financing support from Zeo and engineering services including Front-End Loading (FEL), Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and project management.
The memorandum is non-binding and does not obligate either party to proceed until definitive agreements are executed.
Ray Conley, CEO of Creekstone Energy, added: “AI workloads are driving unprecedented demand for power. At Creekstone, we plan to deliver over 600MW of baseload power to our Gigasite customers in 2027 in Phase 1 of our project. Our collaboration with Zeo reflects the market urgency of using all available energy sources to rapidly provide baseload power.”
