IPA is the owner of the Intermountain Power Project (IPP) located in the Great Basin region of western Utah. IPP generates an average of more than 13 million megawatt hours of energy each year from its two coal-fired units. The energy is delivered over the project's AC and DC transmission systems to 36 participants in the project that principally serve Utah and Southern California. At the meeting we held discussion on wether to convert the IPP into natural gas. California purchases roughly 75% of the power generated at the plant and new California state regulations require power useres to retire all their coal generation by 2027. This could be a big change for this project. IPP currently is one of the most effective coal genrating facilites in the country. Those in attendance were also able to hear from Former Utah Governer Norman Bangerter.
