20 Utah Communities Commit To 100% Renewable Energy Goals

Coalville and West Valley City are the latest Utah communities to commit to transitioning to 100% net-renewable energy use by 2030. There are now 20 local governments participating in the statewide effort. “We are very excited about the number,” said Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski. “I was anticipating 12 total by the end of the year.” Salt Lake City, along with Park City, Summit County, and Moab, were among the first Utah communities to partner with Rocky Mountain Power — Utah’s primary energy utility — in support of H.B. 411, the Community Renewable Energy Act. The legislation passed earlier this year and establishes the legal framework for how participants will move towards the energy goal.
