Rocky Mountain Power discussed its proposal to separate from PacifiCorps at a committee meeting at the Utah Capitol Wednesday. Utah lawmakers weren't happy with the details.
‘God be with your soul’: Rocky Mountain Power faces fiery Utah lawmakers over PacifiCorp separation planto increase their rates next year, Utah lawmakers asked the state’s largest electricity provider to consider another option: split with its parent company, PacifiCorps.
Rep. Casey Snider, R-Paradise, asked Garlish, “Are we paying more because we’re subsidizing poor regulatory decisions in other states?” Utah Clean Energy, a nonprofit advocacy group, has argued that Utah’s own dependence on fossil fuels is driving the rate increase. Logan Mitchell, climate scientist and energy analyst, said in August that the revised request “is still tied to rising fossil fuel costs” in addition to rising insurance premiums, and “underlines the need to add more zero fuel cost energy like wind, solar and geothermal to protect customers from rising and volatile fuel prices.”since 2021.
“If we’re focused on reliability and cost, is there any reasonable expectation that any of those things would move in the right direction by shrinking the system size?” Sen. Nate Blouin, Dem, Salt Lake, asked. “It seems like there’s no world in which we reduce costs and increase reliability if that’s the direction we move in.”
“I am the leader of Rocky Mountain Power,” Garlish answered. “But I have a boss. I’m here to deliver a report and facilitate conversations. I want to do what’s best for the company, for Utah and for the other states I’m responsible for.”
