One of the main sources of income for Delta is a power plant operated by the [[Intermountain Power Agency]], known as the [[Intermountain Power Project]] or I.P.P. It is also referred to as Intermountain Power Service Corporation or I.P.S.C. This [[Intermountain Power Plant|coal-powered power plant]] supplies power for much of [[Los Angeles]] county in [[California]]. The plant was originally designed for four units, but only two have been built. Each unit produces 950 megawatts of electricity.{{citation needed|date = April 2016}}

===Materion Natural Resources===
Materion's, formerly Brush Wellman, beryllium refining plant is located north of Delta in Millard County. This is one of the few sources of concentrated [[beryllium]] in the world. The plant is a mill and finishing facility for beryllium, a high-strength, lightweight metal alloy used in military, aerospace, and medical industries. The ore for the plant is trucked from Materion's mine, located in the Topaz-Spor Mountains, 50 miles west, in Juab County. This is North America's only developed source of beryllium. The facility is located here due to its access to the railway and major highways 6 and 50.

===Graymont Lime===
Graymont Lime has a plant in the [[Cricket Mountains]], about 32.5 miles southwest of Delta. It is one of the ten largest lime plants in the United States. It was previously owned by Continental Lime which Graymont Lime purchased.

===Alfalfa===
Alfalfa hay is the main crop of the Delta area. Due to the dry climate in the Delta region, farmers can control the moisture content of the hay when it is baled. This is very important to prohibit mold growth.

===Dairy===
Delta is home to many dairy farmers who may ship the milk out of the county.
