Rocky Mountain Power seeks community proposals for Utah renewable energy projects
Rocky Mountain Power has opened a request for proposal (RFP) to the people of Utah, compiling competitive bids for new renewable energy projects to interconnect their PacifiCorp system.
The cost-competitive bids can include solar, wind, and geothermal projects and will be used for 308,000-megawatt hours of power generation — enough to power about 34,000 homes in the state. They also desire new projects, to supplement their Subscriber Renewables program, to allow enrollees to draw some or all of their energy from renewable energy, if so inclined.
“Rocky Mountain Power has a successful history of partnering with our customers and communities,” Cindy Crane, CEO of Rocky Mountain Power, said. “We are continuing that tradition by bringing new renewable energy to our customers that have aggressive renewable and sustainability goals, while still providing affordable, reliable electricity to all of our customers.”
The new RFP is sponsored by several Utah customers, which include private and public entities alike: Salt Lake City, Park City, Park City Mountain Resort, Summit County, Deer Valley Resort, and Utah Valley University.
