Summary
Corix Utah City Heating and Cooling LLC ("Corix"), a leading developer, owner, and operator of district energy systems, has achieved a landmark regulatory decision in the Utah energy market. In a first for the state, the Utah Public Service Commission ("PSC") has approved Corix as a designated heat corporation, authorizing the company to provide both heating and cooling services within Utah.
This first-of-its-kind decision establishes a new regulatory precedent, bridging energy constraint challenges with innovation and enabling the delivery of reliable, cost-effective heating and cooling under regulatory oversight. The approval enables Corix to develop and operate a district energy system for Utah City, a new mixed-use, walkable development in Vineyard, Utah.
The master-planned community by developer Utah City Partners will integrate residential, retail, commercial, and medical research space into a dynamic urban destination. At its core, Corix's district energy system features an interconnected underground network of pipes with a centralized energy plant designed to share equipment and energy sources between buildings more efficiently than conventional approaches. With its modular, flexible design, the system is purpose-built to scale, enabling incremental capacity to be added as the development progresses. At full build-out, it will serve 18 million square feet of mixed-use space, with service to begin later this year.
