Council approves 10-MW Fremont solar purchase through UAMPS; 25-year PPA includes battery storage
Summary
The council approved a resolution to take part in a Fremont solar project under UAMPS: Logan is contracting for 10 MW of solar and 5 MW (4-hour) of battery storage on a 25-year power-purchase agreement (resolution 25-42).
The Logan City Council voted to approve a resolution to participate in a Fremont solar project under the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) master power-supply agreement.
Mark Montgomery presented the item and reminded the council that UAMPS is a municipal joint-action agency that develops power projects for participating communities. The approved resolution authorized Logan’s share of a project that includes 10 megawatts of solar generation and 5 megawatts (four-hour duration) of battery storage, under a 25-year power-purchase agreement.
Council discussion noted that battery storage raises project cost compared with stand-alone solar but provides flexible capacity during peak hours; Montgomery said the project expands the city’s renewable portfolio and improves capacity for peak-time power. Councilmember discussion indicated the city’s share could vary if other participants change their commitments.
The council moved and seconded resolution 25-42; following a brief council exchange, the motion carried.
Ending: The resolution was adopted by the council and staff will proceed with UAMPS transaction schedule steps required by the master agreement.
