Another Utah city commits to 100% renewables

By Michelle Froese | January 10, 2019

The full list of cities across the United States committed to being powered by 100% renewable energy, like wind and solar, can be viewed here.

A full list of cities across the United States that have committed to being powered by 100% renewable energy, such as wind and solar, can be viewed here.

Cottonwood Heights, Utah committed to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy. It joins three other cities in Utah — Salt Lake City, Moab, and Park City — and Summit County in establishing this goal.

The city council voted unanimously to pass a resolution adopting a goal of achieving 100% clean, renewable electricity for city operations by 2022 and community-wide by 2032.

“Here in Utah, our utility, Rocky Mountain Power, just admitted that nearly 60% of its coal fleet is uneconomic,” said Will McCarvill, Chair of the Sierra Club’s Utah Chapter. As a resident of Cottonwood Heights, I know the families and businesses of our city are making the smart, forward-thinking decision to commit to 100% clean renewable energy, and we’ll create good-paying local jobs, keep electricity bills low, and protect our air and water from toxic pollution in the process.”

“Clean energy already employs more Utahns than coal and gas combined, while reducing toxic air pollution. Local leadership that invests in clean energy solutions is a win-win for Utah. The families and businesses in Cottonwood Heights are committed to leading the way to a cleaner, brighter future, and they know now is the time to make it happen,” added Beebe, organizing representative with the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign.
