Pronghorn has scaled down its hydrogen extraction project to 30% of its original size, now focusing exclusively on wind and solar energy generation in Converse County. The revised project, announced on January 28, will not include hydrogen production, which significantly reduces water needs and addresses community concerns.

The updated plan aims to connect to the energy grid, with a smaller geographic footprint that avoids sensitive cultural and environmental areas. The project is designed to meet the increasing electricity demand in Wyoming and is expected to start formal permitting in 2026, including public information sessions to engage with stakeholders. Pronghorn representatives indicated that these modifications reflect the need for more low-cost electricity sources in the region.
