  2. At a public open house, some residents said they felt left out. The developer gave water, noise and tax estimates and said the project was in early planning with no construction start date. (ABC4 Utah, Jan. 30, 2026; Daily Herald, Jan. 30, 2026)

  3. Santaquin's mayor said all power would come from on-site gas engines with no grid connection, and the city scheduled an open house. (KUTV (via KJZZ), Jan. 28, 2026)

  4. DCD reported the 20+ MW off-grid, gas-powered project at 15372 S. Ridge Farms Road, approved by the city in 2024 with a site plan approved the following summer; the most recent of 11 public meetings was Jan. 6. (Data Center Dynamics, Jan. 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Coordinates are approximate, set in south Santaquin near I-15 exit 242 per the Daily Herald. The street address has not been geocoded. Santaquin spans Utah and Juab counties; the reported location is in the Utah County part.
  • The DCD article shows no date or byline; it is dated 2026-01 from its reference to the Jan. 6 meeting.
  • Developer estimates (ABC4): closed-loop water use equal to about 22 households a year; noise of 55-65 dB; more than $2.4 million a year in city tax revenue and more than $8 million for the state. The Herald reports a DCPC estimate of about $2.45 million a year.
  • This is a separate site from DCPC's Juab County permit north of Mona (dcpc-north-of-mona): different approving body (city vs. county), different location (about 5 miles apart), and the Juab permits describe a much larger ~1 million sq ft campus. Both are presented by CEO Jon Jensen.
  • A land-purchase suit by JJMC Development is pending in 4th District Court (Daily Herald, Jan. 2026); its outcome has not been checked.
