Utah Renewable Communities | Net-100% Renewable Electricity

Net-100% Renewable Electricity:

Net-100% renewable electricity means matching the program’s electricity consumption with renewable generation connected to Rocky Mountain Power’s system on an annual basis. The Community Renewable Energy Act defines renewable energy resources as sources that are “naturally replenished,” including wind, solar, geothermal, and hydroelectric.

The definition also allows the development of other clean energy-enabling technologies like energy efficiency, demand response, and energy storage. These enabling technologies can help bridge the gap between when renewable energy is generated and when it is consumed.
Residential Rocky Mountain Power customers in participating communities will pay a fixed rate of $4 per month to participate in the Program. Residents enrolled in Rocky Mountain Power’s Home Energy Lifeline Program (HELP) will participate for free. Rates may adjust annually, and clear information will be shared here and on customer bills.

Businesses and other non-residential customers will pay a monthly rate based on their electricity usage. The approved rate for non-residential customers is $0.00609 per kWh plus a low-income surcharge of $0.12 per month. A business could estimate what this translates to by finding a past bill, taking the total kWh multiplied by 0.00609 and adding $0.12 to see what the addition would be as part of the program.
