Substation Relocation Terminated

Post Date:06/14/2013
Time frame for decision is too short to fully evaluate access and funding.

After nearly 18 months of discussions, the Park City Council announced today that it terminated the consideration of the 1555 Iron Horse Drive site for the Rocky Mountain Power Substation expansion. Rocky Mountain Power owns the Park City Substation in the Bonanza Park area which is critical to the City's power grid.

After careful consideration it has become evident that the hurdles that need to be cleared in order for the substation to be moved cannot be resolved within the time frame that will allow Rocky Mountain Power to complete its upgrade by 2015. This deadline is necessary to meet local power needs.

Council will hold a public hearing on the substation expansion at its June 20 meeting. At that time Council will provide direction to staff on the configuration of the substation expansion at its current location. Council will continue to engage Rocky Mountain Power regarding the potential for undergrounding lines in this and other City locations at a subsequent meeting, likely in mid-July.

In 2019, Park City Municipal partnered with Canyons Village Management Association, Deer Valley Resort, and Park City Mountain to launch Ride On Park City. This platform allows employees and partners of these organizations to find a carpool match, real time transit information, e-bikes, and more. So far, we have prevented 46.1 tons of C02 from entering the atmosphere, and taken nearly 15,000 non-single occupancy trips in the Park City area.
