| Additional Information |
The Hale Plant was coal-fired electric power plant that formerly stood in Orem near the mouth of Provo Canyon. "In 1936, an 18,750-kilowatt steam-generating plant was built at the mouth of Provo Canyon - one of the earliest such sites in Utah. Known first as the Provo Steam Plant and later as the Orem Plant, it officially became the Hale Plant, after J.A. Hale, longtime vice president and chief of operations. The name change came in 1950, the same time as construction began on the second phase of the plant, which provided a capacity of 44,000 kilowatts." -Deseret News, Nov. 26, 1993. Utah Power & Light closed the plant around 1990 due to pollution concerns, and tore it down in 1993. A substation is still located just east of the site. |
