What is touted as the world’s largest clean energy storage project destined to deliver 1,000 megawatts of energy is bound for Utah’s Millard County and will change the U.S. energy grid in the West.

The Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems and Magnum Development initiative was officially unveiled Thursday by Gov. Gary Herbert at the Energy Summit in an event headlined by U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry.

“The Utah Advanced Clean Energy Storage Project will generate enough power to meet the needs of 150,000 households. That’s the equivalent of about 21 percent of the total households in Utah,” Herbert said.

“This investment shows that Utah is not only blessed with unique energy resources, but also benefits from wise policy and an ability to forge unprecedented partnerships that help drive innovation,” he said.
