==Description==
The station is located at 1480 West North Temple Street, with the [[island platform]] in the median of the street. The [[Rocky Mountain Power]] facility is located just south of the station. Unlike many TRAX stations, Power does not have a [[Utah Transit Authority#Park and Ride|Park and Ride]] lot. Like many other UTA stations, this station has art workartwork included in its design. The art workartwork for the Power station includes benches designed to resemble wind turbines. The combined work is called ''The Power Station'' and was designed by Darl Thomas of Salt Lake City.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rideuta.com/news/2013/04/art-along-the-airport-trax-line/|title=Art Along the Airport TRAX Line|website=rideuta.com|publisher=[[Utah Transit Authority]]|date=12 Apr 2013|accessdate=30 Jul 2014}}</ref> The station is part of a railway [[Right-of-way (transportation)|right of way]] that was created specifically for the Green Line. The station opened on April 14, 2013, and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority. It is also one of four TRAX stations (all of which are located at the north end of the Green Line) that is powered by solar panels located on top of the station's canopy through a project which was initially funded in part by [[PacifiCorp|Rocky Mountain Power]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20130530006065/en/Enphase-Energy-Powers-Utah-Transit-Authority-Airport|title=Enphase Energy Powers New Utah Transit Authority Airport TRAX Stations|website=businesswire.com|publisher=[[Business Wire]]|date=30 May 2013|accessdate=30 Jul 2014}}</ref>
 
All of UTA's TRAX and ''FrontRunner'' trains and stations, streetcars and streetcar stops, and all fixed route buses are compliant with [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990|Americans with Disabilities Act]] and are therefore accessible to those with disabilities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rideuta.com/mc/?page=RidingUTA-Accessibility-FixedRouteAccessibility|title=Fixed Route Accessibility|website=rideuta.com|publisher=[[Utah Transit Authority]]|accessdate=13 Mar 2013}}</ref> Signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the trains clearly indicate accessibility options. In accordance with the [[List of smoking bans in the United States#Utah|Utah Clean Air Act]] and UTA ordinance, "smoking is prohibited on UTA vehicles as well as UTA bus stops, TRAX stations, and ''FrontRunner'' stations".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rideuta.com/mc/?page=RidingUTA-RiderRules|title=Rider Rules|website=rideuta.com|publisher=[[Utah Transit Authority]]|accessdate=12 Mar 2013}}</ref>
