Earlier RMT was awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract by Greenbriar for the project near Monticello.

Construction has been started before January 1, 2014 and as such the project is eligible to qualify for $42m federal investment tax credits, which was extended by the US congress in January 2013.

Under a 20-year power purchase agreement, PacifiCorp will buy the entire output from the proposed project.

Greenbriar Capital CEO Jeffrey Ciachurski said the company is working with the EPC contractor RMT for the Blue Mountain project.

Ciachurski added, "Having RMT begin the construction at Blue Mountain, is a major milestone event for the shareholders of Greenbriar Capital. We look forward to bringing the 80-MW Blue Mountain, Utah Project online."
