The dormitories near Old Faithful Geyser installed 30.78 kW of solar panels in 2015.[2]

The 92MW Sweetwater Solar project near Green River came online as the first utility-scale solar farm in Wyoming in December 2018.[3][4] Additional projects are in advanced stages of development to be located near Kemmerer as the region's economy transitions from a scheduled closure of the Naugton coal plant.[5][6]
