The Elektron Solar project will provide clean energy to Salt Lake City, Park City, Summit County, Utah Valley University and Park City Mountain and Deer Valley resorts.Two Utah ski resorts will now be almost entirely powered by a solar farm that opened in Tooele County on Monday.
“This is the largest renewable energy initiative Salt Lake City has ever been a part of,” Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said during a Monday news conference at the facility. “This 80-megawatt solar farm will support Salt Lake City in achieving net-100% renewable electricity by 2030 — an ambitious goal, but one of our most important priorities as a city.”
The solar farm, located in Tooele County’s Skull Valley about 60 miles west of Salt Lake City, is expected to generate enough clean energy to power nearly 20,000 homes each year, according to a news release. “Rocky Mountain Power is pleased to continue its long partnership with customers and communities in Utah to take part in our renewable energy programs including our existing renewable tariff options,” Pacificorp vice president Craig Eller said in a statement. “This project represents a significant step forward in our collective efforts and we look forward to working with customers to develop additional projects and programs.
