The Olmsted Power Station is a historic building located in Orem, Utah, United States.

The plant, when running at full capacity, was able to provide twelve megawatts of power[citation needed], which is enough for about 3,000 homes.

This institute was the first corporation sponsored electrical school in the U.S. and continued to operate until 1912 when Utah Power and Light Company attained the property.

In order to harvest the power of falling water, new technology needed to be invented.

The Nunn brothers provided Westinghouse with a pouch of gold worth $50,000, and eventually, the technology was available so that the plant could be built and become an efficient energy source.
