Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
District energy projects gain tax credit access
Beginning May 7, 2025, Utah businesses can seek an existing tax credit for qualifying district heating or cooling projects. Projects need at least $10 million in new investment to build a thermal energy plant or facility. Infrastructure construction must be required for or directly support the project. Its cost to the project developer must exceed 10% of total project cost or exceed $10 million. Applicants must do business in Utah, apply, and sign a qualifying agreement with Utah’s Office of Energy Development. This provision does not state the credit amount.
Heating providers face new utility rules
Utah’s Public Service Commission regulates qualifying providers that operate heating plants for public service and meet the state’s public-utility requirements. This includes heating plants operated together with cooling plants. Operators of standalone cooling plants are excluded from heat-corporation status based on those plants alone; other regulatory rules can still apply. These changes do not set household payments or utility rates.
