POWER NEED
The recent volatility in the energy market was greatly affecting the power department budget in the city of Hurricane, Utah. Hurricane City Power serves the 12,000 residents and businesses in this burgeoning community in Utah’s far southwest corner. Hurricane’s population surged from 8,250 in 2000 to 25,209 in 2020 — an increase of 205.56%. That growth put stress on the municipal power system, especially in the summer when daytime temperatures often reach or exceed 110º F.
The reliability and cost-effectiveness of this power solution even earned Hurricane City Power and Washington City Power a joint award for the “Most Improved System of the Year” from UAMPS in 2007.
