SUMMARY of the AUGUST 30 PARK CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Leadership Park City

IN THE STUDY SESSION

Social Equity Community Critical Priority Discussion: In an ongoing series of study sessions focusing on the Critical Community Priority of Social Equity, Council met with community members to continue to define the social equity priority and discuss next steps in terms of implementation. Council has embarked on a series of listening tours to better understand community needs and sentiment around social equity issues, and to receive feedback on next steps. For example, the Council sent out a request for proposals for a social equity Convener, in the hopes of developing an actionable social equity strategic plan.  For more information about the date/time/location of the listening tours, please contact Rocio Torres at rocio.torres@parkcity.org.

Council will likely approve the selected Convener contract at their next meeting on September 13. Read the full staff report: Social Equity Staff Report

Buy Renewable Energy

Utilities all over the country now are including more and more renewable energy generation sources in their power mix. Renewable energy comes from wind farms, solar systems, geothermal, and some sources of hydro power.

Utilities do one of two things to get renewable energy for their customers. They either own and produce their own power from a renewable energy plant like a wind farm, or they buy Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from a renewable energy producer. These RECs are essentially the green attributes of the power and can be sold independently of the actual electricity.

Right here in our own area, Rocky Mountain Power offers it's customers the chance to buy Blue Sky Renewable Energy, which comes from wind and solar energy in the surrounding region. By purchasing green power, you lower your carbon footprint as well as encourage the development of new renewable energy projects so we can start phasing out our fossil fuel energy sources. Blue Sky power is sold in 100 kilowatt-hour (kWh) increments or 'blocks' and cost $1.95 per block. You can buy as many or as few of blocks as you want and is completely voluntary. On average about 10 blocks a month will cover 100% of a home's electricity use. For example: If your average electricity use every month is 850 kWh, if you guy 8 blocks of Blue Sky, you'll almost offset all your power with renewable energy. If you buy 9, you'll be over 100%. Buying 1 block per month for a whole year would equate to planting 65 trees or not driving your car for 1,474 miles. To purchase blocks of renewable energy from RMP, go to Blue Sky Renewable Energy and "sign up now" at the bottom of the page, or call 1-800-769-3717 and an agent will take care of you.
