At the end of January 2024, Rocky Mountain Power rolled out a new economic development tool to support Wyoming’s growing and diversifying economy. The new Feasibility Study is the initial step in processing new service connection requests that exceed 25 megawatts. This new tool has no upfront cost and will help those who are looking to expand operations within Rocky Mountain Power’s service area.
“The new Feasibility Study provides a basic estimate of available Rocky Mountain Power service,” said Michael Morrissey, regional business manager for central Wyoming. “If the customer finds the information in the feasibility study favorable and wishes to proceed, the next step is to present an Engineering Services Agreement for a more detailed study.”
Sharon Fain, certified economic developer and vice president for Wyoming at Rocky Mountain Power, said the company is seeing a rise in new service requests. The new Feasibility Study tool will ensure Wyoming remains competitive in business and industrial recruitment, expansion and retention.
“We’re pleased to introduce this innovative economic development tool to potential new and current customers, state economic partners, communities, chambers of commerce and economic development organizations, aiming to foster economic growth and diversification,” Fain said.
