Abandoned Infrastructure
Remnants of the electrical distribution system for the defunct Castle Gate Power Plant in Castle Gate ghost town.
Carbon Power Plant, also known as Castle Gate Power Plant was a small, 190-MWe coal-fired power station in Utah, operated by PacifiCorp. Its units 1 and 2, rated at 75 and 113.6 MWe, were launched into service in 1954 and 1957. The plant was located in Castle Gate, now a ghost town and was about 3 km (2 mi) north of Helper, Utah, on the east bank of Price River.
The plant was decommissioned on April 16, 2015 and has now been totally demolished with complete environmental mitigation of the site. All that remains is these aging and unused bits of the distribution system.
