DATA CENTERS
Utah Data Centers: Power, fiber and a fast-growing tech economy
Utah’s data center market spans Salt Lake City to St. George, backed by low-cost power, dense network infrastructure and a climate built to support large-scale development.
WHY UTAH
A state built for large-scale infrastructure
Utah is one of the Mountain West’s most active data center states through low-cost power, dense network infrastructure, available land and a state government that actively supports development.
Capacity is on track to nearly triple in the coming years, driven by sustained investment across the state and a business climate that continues to attract large-scale projects.
UTAH DATA CENTERS
From the Wasatch Front to the Southwest corridor
St. George and Salt Lake City, two markets at different ends of the state’s data center growth.
St. George, Utah
Operating the only enterprise colocation data center in St. George, with low-latency connectivity to Las Vegas, Phoenix and other western cities.

Salt Lake City, Utah
A major Mountain West data center hub, with dozens of facilities, a downtown carrier hotel and substantial hyperscale and colocation capacity.
power and land availability
Low-cost power, backed by a track record that proves it
Utah’s industrial electricity rates run well below the national average, supported by a grid that continues to expand capacity to meet growing demand across the state.
Land availability remains strong across both the Wasatch Front and southern Utah, supporting large campuses near Salt Lake City to enterprise colocation in St. George.
NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
Dense connectivity across two very different markets
Salt Lake City offers dense carrier infrastructure anchored by a major downtown carrier hotel, serving as a key interconnection point for the broader Mountain West.
St. George sits at a regional hub of its own, with low-latency reach to Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Denver, giving southern Utah a strong connectivity position independent of the north.
CLIMATE AND DISASTER RISK
Geography that works in your infrastructure’s favor
Idaho offers a stable environment for critical infrastructure, with low exposure to the natural disaster risks.
Cooling advantage
Utah’s cool, dry climate favors efficient air-cooled operation, cutting the mechanical cooling load other regions can’t avoid.
Seismically stable
Southern Utah falls outside the state’s primary earthquake corridor, one less variable in facility design.
No coastal risk
A landlocked, high-desert state, Utah avoids hurricane risk entirely and sees limited tornado, flood or wildfire activity.
BUSINESS CLIMATE AND GROWTH
Few states make the business case as clearly as Utah does
Utah’s corporate income tax rate, among the lowest in the country, is part of a broader business climate consistently ranked among the most competitive in America.
That foundation has made Utah a magnet for infrastructure investment, with data center capacity set to nearly triple. Southern Utah is driving its own momentum as one of the fastest-growing metro economies in the country.
