Achieving Local Government’s Climate Goals

State and local governments across the country are rising to the climate change challenge

From ambitious emissions reduction goals, to bold renewable energy plans, local governments can lead in the transition to a clean energy future. But acheiving these goals will require experts like Utah Clean Energy helping to pave the way for clean energy, energy efficiency, and electrified transportation. We proudly work in tandem with these leading local governments to take meaningful action against climate change.

MAKING AN IMPACT

“Saying we want to power our communities with clean energy is one thing. Achieving it is something else altogether. The recent roadmap [published by Utah Clean Energy] is essential to help Park City and other Utah cities achieve our climate goals, and I hope this tool is used by communities all around the country in their path toward sustainability.”

Luke Cartin,Environmental Sustainability Manager for Park City Municipa

NOTICE: WE ARE NOT A SOLAR COMPANY

We would like to clarify that Utah Clean Energy is not a solar company. We are a nonprofit organization that advocates for solar and other clean energy technologies, but we do not install or sell solar in any way.
 
Utah Clean Energy Association is not affiliated with our work. This is a sales group that despite our best efforts to get them to stop, continues to use our name in their advertising. We encourage you to report them to Google Ads as misleading. The company that reached out to you is likely a solar company that purchased your contact information as a lead. You may consider reporting that company to the Better Business Bureau for using misleading sales tactics also.
 
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.
 
Thank you,

The Utah Clean Energy team
