Construction of the Olmsted Hydroelectric Power Plant Replacement Project began in the summer of 2016. Work included a rehabilitation of an existing 102-inch pipeline, lining the existing 12-foot rock-tunnel with an 84-inch steel pipeline, constructing a new cliff spillway structure, surge tank, 84-inch buried penstock and power house with new hydroelectric equipment and installation of a new power transmission line to the Provo Power system.
The new Olmsted plant is a “run of the river” plant producing power only when water demands from downstream users necessitate water deliveries. The total cost of the replacement project is approximately $42 million. Commercial power production will commence in October 2018. The Olmsted Power Plant is a Federal facility operated and maintained by the Central Utah Water Conservancy District producing power marketed by the Western Area Power Authority serving local customers including CUWCD, Provo Power, Utah Municipal Power Authority, Utah Associated Power Systems, Weber Basin Water Conservancy District and the cities of Lehi and Kaysville.
