SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Salt Lake City has unveiled a 10-year plan to continue the state’s solar energy adoption.
The Deseret News reported Thursday (https://bit.ly/2jLzo3S ) that the Wasatch Solar Team, along with advocacy group Utah Clean Energy and Salt Lake City introduced the plan at a media event at the state Capitol.
According to the Wasatch Solar Team there were only 76 rooftop solar installations in 2006 in Utah. By 2016, several thousand households were producing an estimated 140 megawatts of solar energy.
The plan outlines four key areas of continuing challenges for expanding solar in Utah and identifies ways to reduce their impact.
According to the plan, in order for solar growth to continue the state should remove unnecessary restrictions on rooftop solar, offer more financing options and add suitable roof space in the city.
