About electricity rates in Utah
Utah is served by regulated, vertically integrated utilities with no retail choice. Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp, serves the large majority of customers along the Wasatch Front and beyond, while municipal utilities in cities such as Provo and Logan and rural cooperatives serve the rest. The Utah Public Service Commission regulates rates for the investor-owned utility.
Coal plants in central Utah have historically supplied most generation, with natural gas and a growing amount of solar now sharing the load. Hot, dry summers bring air-conditioning demand, while most homes heat with natural gas through cold winters. Residential rates are tiered by usage and vary by season. Rooftop solar is relatively common, though new systems receive an export credit rather than full retail net metering.
