This document summarizes Utah's energy resources and goals. It outlines that Utah has significant coal, natural gas, oil, uranium, solar, wind, geothermal, and other energy resources. It also discusses Utah's goals of achieving 20% renewable energy by 2025 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Major renewable energy zones are identified for solar, wind, and geothermal resources with generation potential in the gigawatts and megawatts. Energy efficiency is also emphasized as an important resource.

Editor's Notes
- 6,371 square miles = 6,371 Solar REZs
- 51 different zones found in 24 of 29 counties.
- Four major areas: requiring different technologies to develop the resources.
- Suggest having individual and/or this aggregate map as handout(s) for PUTIC committee members.
- Note to self – find approx = sign.
- This circles are the renewable “hubs” (aka renewable energy zones) identified in Phase 1. The white lines are the major currently proposed transmission projects. The size of the circle reflects the size of the developable resource base. The circles include all renewables (i.e., wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, biomass).
