Eligible communities had until June 2, 2026 to decide whether to adopt a participation ordinance to formally remain in the Community Clean Energy Program when it launches.

Visit the member communities page to see which local governments adopted the ordinance.

After over seven years of planning and collaboration, we’re now in the final stretch toward launching the Community Clean Energy Program, and the momentum is real.

Building the Program: A Pathway Towards Community Clean Energy

Since the Community Clean Energy Program was approved by the Public Service Commission on March 4th, URC communities had 90 days, through June 2nd, to decide whether to adopt a participation ordinance to formally remain in the Program. 16 of the 19 eligible communities voted to adopt the ordinance.

Now that we know there are 16 communities moving forward, URC and Rocky Mountain Power can charge full speed ahead towards implementing the Community Clean Energy Program for launch early next year.

Between now and Program launch, URC will continue to work with Rocky Mountain Power to iron out all the details that go into running a successful program: updating the billing system, designing customer notices, training customer service representatives, and so much more. There's a lot of work to do, and the momentum is real!

Powering Up: Resource Solicitation Process

To power the homes and businesses in our communities with net-100% renewable electricity, URC must work with Rocky Mountain Power to add more clean energy to the electric grid.

To run the solicitation to obtain new renewable energy resources, URC, working in collaboration with Rocky Mountain Power, first had to gain approval from the Utah Public Service Commission (PSC). In May 2025, the PSC approved Rocky Mountain Power and URC’s solicitation process and URC published a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Program resources. This opened the doors to developers who want to build new clean energy projects for the Program.
