Leslie ThatcherSecond-Segment GuestGuestAnd as far as some local news, Summit County leaders and others who pushed for Utah's new renewable energy program are stepping up outreach and education.
KPCW's Connor Thomas reports electric customers will have the chance to opt out of a $4 monthly surcharge.
Utah's Community Clean Energy program exists to fund large-scale energy projects with minimal greenhouse gas emissions.
16 Utah cities and counties voted to join the program around the end of May, forming the financial backbone.
That includes Park City, Francis, Oakley, and unincorporated Summit County.
Summit County Sustainability Director Emily Quintin says program leaders are launching a public outreach campaign before the program starts next year.
We want to increase the chance that when somebody gets that notice in their mail or their email, they don't just delete it or throw it away, that they know it's something that they're watching for.
And, um, it, you know, I want people to make an informed choice about their participation.
Low-income households already receiving subsidies from Rocky Mountain Power or the federal government may participate for free.
Businesses pay 12 cents per month, plus about a half of one cent per kilowatt hour used.
Customers can opt out for free during a six-month window expected to start in November.
The fees will finance the large-scale clean energy projects, which have yet to be announced.
Quintin says the participating cities and counties are narrowing down bids.
The URC is also in final negotiations with the developers of what would be the first one or two clean energy projects to come online for the program.
She says outreach will also happen over social media and through paper flyers.
She's asking various nonprofits to help spread the word about the program and options for lower-income earners.
More information is available at kpcw.org. Quintin has another presentation scheduled at Wednesday's Summit County Council meeting.
