Noah E. Miterko: It is in the public interest for Rocky Mountain Power to move to renewable energy sources
Twenty years is not soon enough to retire Rocky Mountain Power’s coal-fired generators.

Latigo Wind Park, a new 27-turbine power-generating project outside Monticello went on line in March. The 62-megawatt project provides electricity to Rocky Mountain Power. Operator Sustainable Power Group, or sPower based in Salt Lake City, has hired observers who can shut down turbines when eagles are present.

Electricity utility companies around the country are setting specific and aggressive goals to move towards clean energy and eliminate fossil fuels from their portfolio. According to their own website, Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) still generates 74.8% of its electricity from burning coal and natural gas. So why aren’t they pursuing similar clean energy benchmarks fo

Rocky Mountain Power has been trying to kill the rooftop solar industry since it started to gain popularity back in 2015. RMP claims that they are trying to protect the consumer when they are doing just the opposite. RMP is protecting their own interests.
Individual ownership of electrical-generating systems, commonly referred to as distributed generation, is direct competition to a century-old business model that RMP has enjoyed without challenge. Today’s renewable energy technology now proves that this business model no longer works. Energy can now be generated on-site with individual ownership of rooftop solar systems.
Flip a switch, and the lights come on. It seems simple and innocuous, and for many, it’s where the story begins and ends. But energy in Utah is anything but simple. Every phone charged, every movie streamed and every room illuminated comes with a cost. In the Beehive State, more than in most places, that’s paid in carbon.
Utah generates 64% of its electricity by burning coal. That proportion has declined substantially since 2001 (94%) but it still dwarfs the national figure of 23%. Utah has the worst average air quality index ranking of any state and is economically vulnerable as climate change affects snow conditions. A coordinated, concerted effort between residents, local industry and the state government to back cleaner electricity generation is needed, but that’s not what’s occurring.
