TAYLORSVILLE — Launched at the turn of the century, Rocky Mountain Power's renewable energy-focusedThe Taylorsville State Office Building — home to numerous state agencies — can now call itself home to a 224-panel solar installation that feeds the 420,000-square-foot building while also producing energy for 16 electric vehicle charging stations.
Solar Panel installation at the Taylorsville State Office Building. Rocky Mountain Power's renewable energy-focused Blue Sky program on Monday celebrated its 200th completed project. "The state government has a goal of installing clean energy, but it's difficult. It's a hard thing to do, you know, because it costs a lot and as a state government, we don't have a ton of money," said Jeff Wrigley, project manager with the Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management, who helped build the installation.
The division was awarded a $150,000 grant from the Blue Sky program and the location for the installation — a parking lot slightly north of the Taylorsville State Office Building — was chosen for the project based on its "high-profile location, major renovation status, and solar panel placement convenience in its unobstructed parking area," according to a release.
