Santaquin, Utah, residents are facing a utility storm with Rocky Mountain Power (RMP). After an 11.6% rate hike on July 1, 2024, to recover massive losses, RMP pushed through an 18.1% increase in 2025, with a 4.7% request looming this year. Burdened by $2.66 billion in wildfire settlements and $46 billion in unsettled claims, plus a leap in liability insurance from $10 million to $125 million in 2024, RMP now threatens power shutoffs during wildfire risks. As Utah’s largest utility, their open-market power buys and exposure to new homes and electric vehicles amplify costs. At Ask Solar Mike, with 9 years of Utah County expertise, we offer 30-year warrantied panels and 25-year warrantied inverters, plus a proprietary 2-year payback strategy. Ready to break free?

Santaquin’s Solar Shield Against Rising Rates

RMP’s financial strain—$2.66 billion in wildfire payouts and a 1,150% insurance jump—hits Santaquin hard with rate hikes (11.6% in 2024, 18.1% in 2025, 4.7% pending). Their wildfire shutoff policy adds uncertainty, while open-market buys strain supplies amid new housing and EV growth. Santaquin’s 5–6 kWh/m²/day sunlight offers a solution. Ask Solar Mike’s batteries, generators, ground mounts, and roof upgrades, paired with our 2-year payback plan, provide a reliable defense.

Santaquin’s Solar Advantage:

  • RMP’s 18.1% hikes demand energy independence.

  • Wildfire shutoffs make backup power essential.

  • 2-year payback accelerates savings.
