Advanced Manufacturing to Power Utah's Future
“The West will lead the next chapter of energy abundance and American prosperity.”
Governor Spencer Cox, at the Built Here: Nuclear Energy Summit
Nuclear power is the only source of electricity that is reliable, scalable, and clean. It is the single safest source of baseload energy, and domestic nuclear energy will power an era of prosperity, safety, and self-sufficiency.
Utah Energy is developing an advanced manufacturing center at Camp Williams through the support of the Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) to accelerate technology and hardware production for the nuclear industry. By leveraging Utah’s strong workforce, pro-innovation policies, and statewide initiatives, we aim to drive clean, reliable energy deployment across the state and nation. The project will bring hundreds of long-term jobs to the region, expanding the state’s advanced manufacturing capabilities, and strengthening Utah’s role as a national leader in energy.
Together, we will help build the next chapter of American energy abundance through cutting-edge technology made in Utah.
Why Utah
The nuclear industry has a promising future in Utah as the state is actively expanding its energy ecosystem. Utah has developed one of the strongest labor markets in the country, and has demonstrated significant support for advanced manufacturing and nuclear projects.
With increased electrification and energy demand becoming a greater part of our every day lives, Utah launched Operation Gigawatt, a forward looking vision to secure a future of energy abundance. Operation Gigawatt will double the state's power capacity through 2035. Utah Energy is ready to be a part of that mission by developing and manufacturing the technology needed to deliver clean, reliable nuclear power at scale.
Utah Energy was awarded Economic Development Tax Increment Financing (EDTIF) incentives by the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity (GOEO) for its advanced manufacturing mission and potential future developments. EDTIFs are a post-performance incentive and emphasize community strength and service. GOEO only awards EDTIF's after a project has delivered on its promise to bring economic benefit to the state.
Utah Energy is proud to support Utah’s long-term economic and energy goals and to grow alongside the communities of southern Salt Lake and northern Utah counties for years to come.

FAQ
What is Utah Energy?
Utah Energy is an American technology company developing and manufacturing advanced hardware for the nuclear industry. The company seeks to deploy advanced hardware in support of the nuclear fuel supply chain.
What is Utah Energy developing at Camp Williams?
Utah Energy is developing an advanced manufacturing center at Camp Williams, a Utah National Guard installation. The facility will operate as a large machine shop that turns raw materials into precision-manufactured parts and equipment.
Future projects to support and onshore additional aspects of the the nuclear fuel supply chain are under evaluation by Utah Energy.
Will Utah Energy Projects Involve Special Nuclear Material?
At this time, Utah Energy is focused on manufacturing technology and hardware for the nuclear industry, which does not involve special nuclear material.
Utah Energy is evaluating the future feasibility of developing and operating a nuclear fuel facility.
Should Utah Energy proceed with development of a fuel facility, it will undertake a comprehensive assessment of potential impacts to public safety and the environment as required under NRC licensing and state-level permitting. Effective mitigation strategies will be integrated across all phases of design, construction, and operation. We will also engage with local communities and stakeholders throughout the process to ensure transparency, address concerns, and incorporate feedback into project planning and implementation.
How will Utah Energy Support the Local and State Community?
Utah Energy will create hundreds of advanced manufacturing jobs and is committed to hiring, training, and developing workers from the surrounding communities of southern Salt Lake and northern Utah counties. In addition to expanding the local tax base that supports schools, infrastructure, and community services, we will partner with local organizations and vendors, and invest time and resources to strengthen the surrounding communities throughout construction and long-term operations.
What happens if the project falls through?
The development of the Camp Williams site is part of MIDA’s pursuit for regional economic growth. If our project does not move forward, additional opportunities may be brought to the site through the support of MIDA.
Who are Utah Energy’s Investors?
Utah Energy is a private company, and we are not currently accepting outside investors. Our investor base consists entirely of American individuals and institutions investing in American-made, stable, secure energy.
What’s the Difference Between Nuclear Fuel Facilities and Reactors?
Fuel facilities produce, process, or manage nuclear materials that power nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors generate power through controlled fission.
What are the safety considerations and risks associated with nuclear fuel facilities?
Nuclear fuel facilities are designed with safety as their top priority. The uranium handled at these sites has not undergone the fission process, meaning it emits very low levels of radiation, thousands of times less than the fuel used in an operating nuclear reactor.
These facilities follow strict safety rules set by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and state agencies. They are built and operated with multiple layers of protection and oversight to keep workers, communities, and the environment safe. Regular inspections, continuous monitoring, and emergency preparedness plans all help ensure that operations stay secure and responsible.
What is the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)?
The NRC regulates the use of nuclear materials in the United States. Its primary role is to ensure nuclear facilities operate safely and securely. Everything it does centers on protecting people and the environment.
What’s the Process to License, Develop, and Operate a Nuclear Facility?
Fuel cycle facilities and nuclear power plants undergo an extensive license application and approval process. Upon approval for development and operation, companies and sites are continually monitored by the NRC from construction through the lifetime of its operations.
