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 16 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 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.
Our Agency and Board
Utah Renewable Communities (Also known as the Community Renewable Energy Agency) is made up of government representatives from all the participating communities. The Agency is governed by a Board that makes decisions on key program elements.
Each community may appoint two people to sit on the URC Board: communities must have one primary voting board member who must be an elected official, and they may appoint a second alternate board member who does not have to be an elected official. When the primary is not present, the alternate board member may vote.
The current board members also serve as board officers:
- Board Chair: Dan Dugan, Salt Lake City
- Board Vice Chair: David Brems, Emigration Canyon
- Treasurer: Cheri Jackson, Millcreek
- Secretary: Emily Quinton, Summit County
