There’s no coal-fired power plants or wind turbines in Ticaboo. Instead, it’s a series of diesel generators keeping the lights on.“It's basically… What?… 1930s, 1940s technology,” said John Motley, who maintains the electrical grid for Ticaboo.“A typical power bill can range anywhere from $300 to $700 a month,” he added.Those bills pay for the diesel and the cost of maintaining the generators. Ticaboo sits in southern Utah away from any other electricity grids.
Rocky Mountain Power provides electricity to about three-fourths of Utah’s geography and the majority of its residents. The company says the average residential customer pays $121 a month in Utah. The utility is now asking for an 18.1% rate increase to take effect in February. The Utah Public Service Commission is weighing the request.“Compared to us,” Motley said, “what people pay, we do chuckle.”Tying Ticaboo into a larger utility would be expensive.
