Electric power has been generated at the Roosevelt Hot Springs and the Cove Fort-Sulphurdale Known Geothermal Resource Areas (KGRA) in southwestern Utah. The Cove Fort-Sulphurdale facilities are currently shut down for modernization.

Commercial greenhouses, using thermal water for space heating, operate at Newcastle in Iron County, Crystal Hot Springs near Bluffdale in Salt Lake County, and Utah Hot Springs in Weber County.

Nine resorts use geothermal water for the heating of swimming pools, small space-heating applications, and therapeutic baths.

Direct-use geothermal developments consisting of commercial scuba diving and aquaculture include facilities at Bonneville Seabase, Tooele County, Mystic Hot Springs Resort, Sevier County, and Belmont Hot Springs Resort, Box Elder County.
