You can help by reducing energy waste in your homes and businesses, a step that cuts carbon pollution and saves you money. How can I participate and help advance progress towards community goals?.In August 2019, the community goal year was updated to 2030 to reflect participation in this new program being facilitated by Rocky Mountain Power. Salt Lake City Council and the Mayor previously adopted a joint resolution in 2016 with the goal of achieving net-100% renewable energy by 2032. The Community Renewable Energy Act (“the Act”) required that participating communities adopt a local resolution by the end of 2019 with the goal to achieve net-100% renewable electricity by 2030. What is the goal year for achieving net-100% renewable electricity?.Please check out the other SLC Sustainability webpages on this site for details on our other sustainability work, plus follow us on social media and through our weekly e-newsletter for recurring updates. Powering the community with net-100% renewable electricity is an essential step towards a robust clean energy future for Salt Lake City. The Mayor and City Council have jointly set ambitions to power the community with net-100% renewable electricity while also reducing energy-related community carbon emissions 80% by 2040. Salt Lake City Energy and Carbon Reduction Goalsĭetails on Salt Lake City’s renewable energy and carbon reduction goals are available in our Climate Positive 2040 plan. Rather, the goal is to catalyze construction of enough new renewable energy resources to meet all net annual community electricity needs on a yearly basis. This page includes more info below on Salt Lake City’s community renewable energy goal along with answers to frequently asked questions.ġ The term “net” is used to denote that the new renewable energy generation resources will be integrated into the broader regional electric grid and power provided to the Salt Lake City community will not always be directly related to renewable projects. The process required to achieve this goal will take place over a number of years leading into the 2020s. This law authorizes next steps that will define the rules, rates and expectations for participating communities and customers in Utah desiring net-100% renewable electricity. ( See the press release from our Earth Day announcement).ĭuring the 2019 legislative session the Utah Legislature passed the Community Renewable Energy Act ( HB 411). These efforts will catalyze development of clean electricity options like wind, solar power and geothermal energy for use by Salt Lake City households, businesses and other organizations, helping achieve our Climate Positive goals. Salt Lake City is taking steps with our electric utility provider ( Rocky Mountain Power) towards becoming a “net-100%” 1 renewable electricity community.

In order to feed power to the chiller, the electrical contractor had to do an outage on the building and tap into the main electrical buss. Because standard chiller hose was not feasible to use for this tall of a building, the contractor ran schedule 10 steel pipe from our chiller up 9 stories to tie in to the penthouse mechanical room. This amazing installation was done by the mechanical contractor. This new chiller lowers environmental impacts and is also designed to operate with the next-generation ultra-ecofriendly 500 series refrigerants. Introducing Rocky Mountain Portable Cooling’s new state-of-the-art Trane Sintesis™ 250 Ton F-Series Chiller! We added an additional sound attenuation package to keep the chiller operating quietly, since noise on this project was critical as downtown residential condos are directly across the street. Wow! How is this for a crazy portable chiller project? Rocky Mountain Portable Cooling received a call from a local mechanical contractor looking for a temporary chiller solution for the replacement of old, inefficient chillers at a local university.
