Facilities
The dormitories near Old Faithful Geyser installed 30.78 kW of solar panels in 2015.

The 92MW Sweetwater Solar project near Green River came online as the first utility-scale solar farm in Wyoming in December 2018. 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.

The largest solar farm is the South Cheyenne Solar Facility in Laramie County at 150 MW. Developers have proposed a 771 MW project near Cheyenne.
