Advanced Energy & Industrial Power Solutions
Develop technologies, fuels, equipment, and resilient energy systems alongside the industrial users that need them.
McKinley County's opportunity extends beyond energy production. The Gallup-McKinley TradePort strategy targets the equipment, fuels, storage systems, infrastructure, and industrial applications that can convert regional energy assets into private investment, economic-base employment, and more resilient industrial operations.
Priority Opportunities
- Alternative and synthetic fuels with defined feedstocks and customers
- Hydrogen production, storage, transport, equipment, and industrial end uses
- Battery storage, long-duration storage, power electronics, and controls
- Microgrid equipment, renewable-energy components, and resilient power systems
- Industrial heat, cogeneration, and energy-recovery applications
- Manufacturers with substantial and clearly defined energy requirements
Where Projects May Fit
In Prewitt, existing industrial uses, transmission infrastructure, large sites, and the legacy of the Escalante Generating Station support evaluation of an energy-centered industrial cluster. Around Gallup, resilient-power and microgrid solutions may support logistics, cold storage, manufacturing, vehicle testing, and other operations for which reliability and phased load growth are central to investment.
Project-Driven Development
GGEDC and its partners evaluate land, utility capacity, interconnection timing, feedstock logistics, water demand, environmental permitting, customers, community fit, and workforce needs. New generation, hydrogen supply, microgrids, or recovered-heat systems would be developed around confirmed project requirements and appropriate commercial, utility, regulatory, engineering, and financing agreements.
