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.
