This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Utah, sorted by type and name. In 2022, Utah had a total summer capacity of 9,627 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 39,386 GWh.[2] In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 47.2% coal, 35.4% natural gas, 11.6% solar, 2% wind, 1.6% hydroelectric, 1.5% geothermal, 0.2% biomass, 0.1% petroleum, and 0.3% other.[1]

Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 906 GWh to Utah's electricity grid in 2023. This compares as less than one-fourth the amount generated by Utah's utility-scale PV plants.[1] Coal previously generated 81% of Utah's electricity in 2013 and has been undergoing a gradual replacement with natural gas and renewables.[3]
