In 2021 Salt Lake City helped break ground on the Elektron Solar Farm, which will reduce our overall community carbon footprint 80% by 2040. And we made progress on the Community Renewable Energy Program, a first-of-its-kind-in-the-country program in partnership with Rocky Mountain Power which provides a pathway for our City to shift to net 100% clean electricity by 2030.

IN PROGRESS: Continue efforts, through a community-driven Climate and Equity Plan, to improve resilience to the climate impacts of weather intensification, flood, drought, and water resources.

In 2021, the Sustainability Department began outreach on the creation of a Low-Income Plan as part of the Community Renewable Energy Program and our goal of moving toward net-100% clean electricity for the whole community by 2030. This work will help inform a larger Climate and Equity planning effort through 2022 and 2023.
