| Description |
In the last three years, the University has collaborated with Rocky Mountain Power to be the first to utilize a new billing rate for electricity transmission. The new rate creates a framework for large-scale users to purchase power from renewable energy projects, supporting the development of new installations across the region. With the new rate in place, the University signed a long-term purchase of geothermal energy from the Soda Lake Field in Nevada, which financed a system overhaul and upgrade to the existing plant. In 2020, the University also signed a 25-year contract with the Castle Solar Project near Huntington, Utah, to provide 20MW of electricity. |
