About Utah Renewable Communities
The Agency and Key Program Documents
What is URC?
Our mission is to empower communities to choose a clean, renewable energy future.
Utah Renewable Communities, also known as the Community Renewable Energy Agency, represents a coalition of cities, counties, and towns that are working with Rocky Mountain Power to launch the Community Clean Energy Program, a default net-100% renewable electricity option for customers of Rocky Mountain Power in their respective communities.
Our Agency and Board
URC is made up of government representatives from all the participating communities. Each participating community may appoint two people to sit on the Board: a primary board member, who is an elected official, and an alternate board member, who can be an elected or appointed official or a staff member.
Our Partnership with Rocky Mountain Power
Rocky Mountain Power is partnering with URC to launch and operate the Community Clean Energy Program. The utility has been a collaborator since the program was first authorized by state law in 2019 and has worked with the URC communities to advise on program design and implementation since that time. All billing and customer service support for participants will occur through Rocky Mountain Power, and Program participants will continue receiving reliable power through the utility.

The Program was approved by the Utah Public Service Commission, and URC communities have 90 days to pass an ordinance or until June 2, 2026 to remain in the Community Clean Energy Program when it launches.

These materials were presented at the URC Agency Board Meeting on April 7th.
