Smart Charge: Maximize Your EV Savings 

It’s no secret that Utah Clean Energy’s team are fans of electric vehicles (EVs), and for good reason! EVs require no gasoline, produce zero tailpipe emissions, and are cheaper to maintain compared to gas-powered cars.  

And it gets even better…a simple program for Rocky Mountain Power customers can help you charge smarter and save even more. Learn more and enroll today. 

Get Paid to Optimize Energy Use 

Earn up to $100 in bill credits by enrolling in Wattsmart® Drive. This program helps manage energy demand by temporarily pausing charging on eligible EVs for up to five minutes during peak hours—saving you money and reducing strain on the grid. 

How It Works: 

  • Plug in your EV, and Rocky Mountain Power takes care of the rest. 
  • Brief charging pauses (Plug-In Perk events) occur during high-demand periods. 
  • You’ll receive advance notifications of these pauses. 
  • Your car will automatically resume charging after the event. 
  • Participate at home, work, or on the go. 
  • Only vehicles plugged in at the time of the Plug-In Perk event will be impacted.

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
