Solar, wind, geothermal and hydroelectric power may all be considered through competitive procurement processes.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER REFRIGERATOR INSTALL
Individual customers wishing to install renewable energy on their property can still do so, but only if desired. Renewable energy resources envisioned with this program are mostly “utility-scale” in size with Rocky Mountain Power helping facilitate the process and site selection. The net-100% renewable electricity goal does not require the installation of any renewable energy resources on private property in participating communities.

Please check out the other SLC Sustainability webpages on this site for details on our other sustainability work, plus follow us on social media and through our weekly e-newsletter for recurring updates. Powering the community with net-100% renewable electricity is an essential step towards a robust clean energy future for Salt Lake City. The Mayor and City Council have jointly set ambitions to power the community with net-100% renewable electricity while also reducing energy-related community carbon emissions 80% by 2040. Salt Lake City Energy and Carbon Reduction Goalsĭetails on Salt Lake City’s renewable energy and carbon reduction goals are available in our Climate Positive 2040 plan. Rather, the goal is to catalyze construction of enough new renewable energy resources to meet all net annual community electricity needs on a yearly basis.

This page includes more info below on Salt Lake City’s community renewable energy goal along with answers to frequently asked questions.ġ The term “net” is used to denote that the new renewable energy generation resources will be integrated into the broader regional electric grid and power provided to the Salt Lake City community will not always be directly related to renewable projects. The process required to achieve this goal will take place over a number of years leading into the 2020s. This law authorizes next steps that will define the rules, rates and expectations for participating communities and customers in Utah desiring net-100% renewable electricity. ( See the press release from our Earth Day announcement).ĭuring the 2019 legislative session the Utah Legislature passed the Community Renewable Energy Act ( HB 411). These efforts will catalyze development of clean electricity options like wind, solar power and geothermal energy for use by Salt Lake City households, businesses and other organizations, helping achieve our Climate Positive goals. Salt Lake City is taking steps with our electric utility provider ( Rocky Mountain Power) towards becoming a “net-100%” 1 renewable electricity community.
