Buy Blue Sky renewable wind power
If you believe in pollution-free power, here’s your chance to purchase new wind power through our Blue Sky program.
You can sign up on our Web site
or over the phone at 1-800-842-8458. It just takes a few minutes. For as little as $1.95 more per month than you’re paying
now, you can:
- help preserve our environment
- conserve resources for the future
- improve air quality
- encourage more renewable power development
Already, more than 6,100 Utah Power customers have signed up to purchase electricity generated from clean, renewable wind resources.
Increase the power of wind
Utah Power residents and businesses can purchase new wind power through our Blue Sky program. With Blue Sky, customers purchase
clean, renewable wind energy in 100 kilowatt-hour (kwh) increments, called blocks, for just $1.95 per block per month. Each
100 kwh block represents about 10 percent of the average customer’s monthly electricity usage of 1,000 kwh.
Since Blue Sky is sold in increments, you can upgrade some or all of the electricity you use each month — the balance of the
power you use would come from traditional generation sources.
The Blue Sky charge will be included on your monthly bill, in addition to your regular charges. Your payments will go directly
toward the purchase of wind power from newly developed wind farms, operating within the western U.S. power system.
Neither you nor your electric equipment will notice any difference in power reliability or quality. All Blue Sky blocks purchased
will be generated and delivered to the western U.S. power system within two years of purchase.

How do I know I’m getting what I pay for?
Blue Sky is regulated by the state utility commissions, which requires us to provide a detailed accounting of consumer renewable
power purchases and our correlating renewable purchases on their behalf. Blue Sky also meets high quality environmental standards.
While the electricity our customers use doesn’t flow from a specific facility directly to residents’ homes, each customer’s
renewable electricity purchase is matched annually with electricity generated from wind sources and delivered to the western
power system.
*Calculations based on an independent analysis completed by the Northwest Power Planning Council and EPA data.
