You've probably heard about Rocky Mountain Power's Cool Keeper and Wattsmart Drive programs that help save power during peak times.
Known as demand response, when there's a big event come across the grid, instead of generating more electricity, RMP asks the biggest energy users to pause for a few minutes while the event passes through the grid.
Bianca Velasquez, Rocky Mountain Power Spokesperson says there are a lot of different segments of our community that can do this - including our agriculture neighbors.
Here's a surprise - pausing irrigation can help RMP manage the grid.
Irrigators can sign up to help manage the power, and they will get a rebate when they do.
In 2025, RMP partnered with 24 irrigators across Utah for 11 irrigation load control events - generating a big impact for our grid.
This is just one of the creative ways Rocky Mountain Power works to keep prices low and provide reliable, safe power to our communities.
