“They just don’t have the details, or they’re not sharing them.
“I don’t think we have enough solid information from Rocky Mountain as to what it would cost the residents,” she said. First-year Mayor Karen Lang said at the time the plan had too much uncertainty around costs. Utah’s second-largest municipality, West Valley City, was among those that did not commit to the next step. In a time when cooperation and good news seem hard to come by, we’re working across Utah together to get things done.” “Together with Rocky Mountain Power, our communities are building the clean energy infrastructure we need for our children and grandchildren to have a healthy and prosperous future. It’s the first of its kind in the United States,” said Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall. “This program is not only the first of its kind in Utah. In other words, these communities are leading out on the clean electricity conversion. Still, the Community Renewable Energy Agency’s commitment to clean electricity should speed the entire grid’s transition. Everyone shares the same electrical grid, so in practice, there still will be times when renewable customers are drawing down fossil-fueled electricity. Those who pay for 100% renewable electricity are essentially paying to add that clean power to the grid. Remaining are three counties, nine cities and six townships stretching from Springdale to Ogden to Moab. Twenty-three entities committed to the early phase, but five of those have dropped out. Utah communities had a deadline of May 31 to commit to join the agency. (Christopher Cherrington | The Salt Lake Tribune)
