Utah Energy Policy
Representative Roger Barrus
District 18
Representative Becker and I have worked together to ensure a balance in Utah’s approach to energy. Together, we will discuss the additions proposed to improve the Utah Energy Act, which will include an education component and an appropriation to study the feasibility of creating a central siting authority or infrastructure authority to expedite the siting and construction of major energy facilities such as electrical generation plants, petroleum and natural gas pipelines, refineries, wind farms and other major energy infrastructures.
Also, we will discuss findings from our work with the Energy Policy Workshop, the Energy Policy Advisor to the Governor, and the Energy Advisory Council.
Finally, we will introduce new legislation together with Representatives from both sides of the aisle to move forward Utah’s energy policy to develop our energy resources, both renewable and nonrenewable; conserve our energy resources through energy efficiency measures; improve the State’s energy transmission and transportation systems; and improve energy regulatory processes.
