This month, Rocky Mountain Power recognized Moab Mayor Dave Sakrison with a Blue Sky Legacy Award for his long-time participation in supporting renewable energy.
Sakrison joined the program in 2002, and has participated at his residence and his business, and then influenced the City of Moab to take the lead for the entire community.
“He has made a real difference in the community through his support of renewable energy projects and his participation in Blue Sky,” Rocky Mountain Power regional business manager Deb Dull said.
Blue Sky allows the utility’s customers to support the development of renewable energy projects in their area and the western United States; currently, nearly 50,000 customers participate in the program.
Moab now has 735 Blue Sky subscribers — 92 percent of those are residential customers — and a growing number of “wattsmart” participants. As part of the wattsmart program, residents can enroll to receive four free energy-efficient LED bulbs. Sign up online to receive the kit at: bit.ly/wattSmartKit.
