Zeo Energy Corp. has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Creekstone Energy LLC to jointly develop approximately 280 MW of baseload power generation to supply a hyperscale AI data center campus currently under construction in Millard County, Utah.

The agreement is non-binding but sets pace for a collaboration covering renewable generation, long-duration storage, engineering, and project financing.

The facility, known as the Creekstone Gigasite, began construction in December 2025. It is also one of the earliest purpose-built AI-compute campuses integrating generation and digital infrastructure at the design stage.

More on the Development at Creekstone Data Center in Utah

Zeo Energy’s partnership with Creekstone data center in Utah also reflects an upcoming trend in AI infrastructure where developers integrate dedicated power plants with data centers for the purposes of reliability and cost efficiency. Additionally, Creekstone data center campus sits adjacent to the 1.9 GW Intermountain Power Project transmission hub. This provides access to major grid infrastructure and also allows for gigawatt-scale expansion potential.

Additionally, Creekstone’s strategy also includes tapping on-site natural-gas supply. This is while the surrounding land supports solar deployment, creating a hybrid energy ecosystem for a hyperscale data center.

Project Factsheet for Creekstone Gigasite Data Center in Utah

Location: Millard County, Utah, USA

Capacity: 280 MW initial phase

Energy mix: Solar, long-duration storage and gas generation

Power agreement type: Non-binding MOU

Construction start: December 2025

Initial delivery target: H1 2027

First customer: Blue Sky AI

Expansion potential: Multi-gigawatt campus

Strategic feature: Co-located power generation and AI compute

Transmission advantage: Adjacent to 1.9 GW Intermountain Power Project grid node

Project Scope and Technology Use

• Target capacity: 280 MW firm baseload
• Supply structure: Solar, long-duration storage and gas-fired generation
• Engineering goal: convert intermittent solar generation into stable output
• Planned delivery: More than 300 MW gas-powered supply by H1 2027
• Phase 1 baseload target:  More than 600 MW
• Long-term campus capacity vision: up to 10 GW

Zeo’s engineering teams have also begun pre-feasibility studies to determine optimal solar and storage configurations for the site. This is as other data center-power colocation projects continue to pick up pace in the state, including the Joule data center campus with a planned 1.1 GWh battery installation.

Power Offtake from Creekstone Data Center in Utah

Creekstone has an agreement to supply up to 50 MW of power to AI infrastructure provider Blue Sky AI Inc. There are also plans to scale the site to multiple gigawatts of generation capacity as demand grows.

Cost and Financing Structure

The Zeo Energy MOU with Creekstone Energy to develop 280 MW of baseload power for Utah AI data center includes provisions for:

• Potential project-level financing arranged by Zeo
• Front-End Loading (FEL) studies
• Front-End Engineering Design (FEED)
• Engineering and integration services

Additionally, Zeo is pursuing the project despite current financial pressures and a market valuation of roughly $54 million. This is also an indicator that the project could be transformational for its balance sheet if it reaches financial close.

The company’s 2025 acquisition of Heliogen also strengthened its long-duration storage and thermal-energy engineering capabilities. Both of which it intends to deploy for large data center loads.

Creekstone also has Series B funding led by Trident Ridge with additional participation from Pelion Ventures.
