Kevin O’Leary’s Utah Hyperscale Data Center

planned

Kevin O’Leary plans to build a massive hyperscale data center on 40,000 acres in Box Elder County, Utah, including private land and a section of the Utah Test and Training Range. The project aims to create 2,000 high-paying jobs and foster economic competition with China. The data center will rely on energy sources including a proposed natural gas utility service connected to the Ruby Pipeline, with potential partial use of solar, wind, and battery power. The project was unanimously approved by the Box Elder County Commission to begin construction in the fall of 2026, though there is public protest and calls for postponement.
