Across the country, the way we produce and distribute energy is rapidly changing. Increasingly, renewable sources are being integrated into the energy mix. These efforts have been particularly successful in Utah, where Rocky Mountain Power is ranked third in the nation for connecting the most solar power to the energy grid. They alone have overseen the incorporation of more than 81,000 solar panels into Utah’s grid.
While this progress should be celebrated, the rapid expansion of solar energy use must also be sustained. Right now, Utah’s Public Service Commission is examining whether the policies currently in place facilitate solar’s long-term growth and expand accessibility for customers.
