Interwest Energy Alliance
Interwest is a regional trade association representing developers and manufacturers of large-scale renewable energy, working for the responsible expansion of renewable energy in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.
The Economic Benefits of Utah’s Rural Renewable Energy Industry
This economic impact study was conducted by Development Research Partners and analyzed rural utility-scale renewable energy projects constructed in 11 counties in Utah. These projects account for 2,275 megawatts of nameplate capacity from solar, wind, and geothermal facilities over 10 megawatts. The report analyzed 31 projects built in Utah (5 under current development or construction slated for completion by 2023) which result in significant economic benefits to rural Utah.
Utah Clean Energy
Utah Clean Energy is Utah’s independent resource for clean energy policy, regulatory, and consumer information.
