Christ United Methodist Church
Embraces Sustainability with
New Solar Array
On Sept. 7, Christ United Methodist Church will celebrate its new 99-panel, rooftop solar array, together with Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon, Rocky Mountain Power and Utah Interfaith Power and Light. This is the first time a church has received funding from Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky renewable energy program for a project in Salt Lake County
When: Tuesday, Sept. 7 at 10 a.m.
Where: Christ United Methodist Church, 2375 East 3300 South, Salt Lake County
Who: Christ United Methodist Church Senior Pastor, Rev. Dr. Marti Zimmerman, Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon, Rocky Mountain Power Customer and Community Manager Alene Bentley, Utah Interfaith Power and Light representatives.
Why: The new solar array is helping Christ United Methodist Church avoid environmental impacts and reduce energy costs. Church members donated about $50,000 toward the project with the remaining $60,000 being funded by Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky renewable energy program. The solar panels were installed by a Utah-based contractor, Alpenglow Solar. A Web-based monitoring system will be on permanent public display at the church showing real-time data about the electricity being generated. A plaque recognizing church members who donated to the project also will be on display.
