LOGAN – With minimal discussion or debate at their regular meeting on Oct. 21, the members of the Logan Municipal Council approved a 25-year power purchase deal through the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) to purchase electrical power from a solar array proposed in Iron County.

The Fremont Solar Plant project in Iron County will be a 99-megawatt photovoltaic generation facility with a 49.5-megawatts of battery storage capacity, which is expected to come online in December of 2027.

At that time, UAMPS will purchase the entire output of the Iron County plant, according to Mark Montgomery, the director of Logan Light & Power. The city’s share of that output would be 10 megawatts of solar electricity with 5 megawatts of battery storage with a four-hour discharge rate.
