Spencer Cox

Utah Governor Spencer Cox has put energy at the center of his time in office, creating a blueprint for states across the U.S. to advance energy affordability and clean power. Cox, a Republican, has supported a mix of energy resources, including advanced nuclear and geothermal power, and led an effort with governors in the region to advance transmission. In 2026, he brought top government officials to Utah for the Operation Gigawatt Summit to champion pathways forward for scaling advanced nuclear power, geothermal energy, and grid capacity.
