Zeo Energy Signs MOU to Develop 280 MW Baseload Power for Utah Data Center
Zeo Energy signed a non-binding MOU with Creekstone Energy to develop 280 MW of solar power firmed with long-duration storage for an AI-focused data center in Millard County, Utah. The initiative follows Zeo’s August 2025 Heliogen acquisition and includes pre-feasibility, FEL and FEED engineering studies plus potential project financing.
1. MOU Details and Project Scope
Zeo Energy signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Creekstone Energy to develop approximately 280 MW of solar-based baseload power paired with long-duration energy storage for Creekstone’s Gigasite data center in Millard County, Utah. The agreement outlines a collaborative framework for pre-feasibility studies, engineering design, and potential financing of the solar and storage components.
2. Strategic Rationale and Expertise
Following its August 2025 acquisition of Heliogen, Zeo will leverage thermal and chemical storage capabilities to design dispatchable renewable solutions. The company’s engineering team is set to conduct Front-End Loading (FEL) and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) analyses to optimize cost and energy efficiency for large-scale AI and data center applications.
3. Next Steps and Market Impact
Under the MOU, Zeo may secure project financing and provide comprehensive engineering services, positioning itself in the rapidly expanding AI and cloud computing power market. Creekstone plans to supply over 300 MW of gas-powered energy by H1 2027 and eventually scale to gigawatt-level capacity, integrating Zeo’s clean baseload solution to meet hyperscaler demand.
