Los Alamos County

Los Alamos County is upgrading its Enterprise Resource Planning Software on July 1, 2018. As a customer of the Department of Public Utilities, what should you expect?

The BPU and County Council voted to sign the Power Sales Contract to continue in the Carbon Free Power Project at the April 10, 2018 joint meeting. The County will re-evaluate its interest in the project in a year. At the direction of the Board of Public utilities, DPU is exploring whether to add a next-generation nuclear power facility to the County's energy generation portfolio to meet a 2040 goal to be carbon neutral. Through its membership with UAMPS (Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems), DPU is specifically looking at the Carbon Free Power Project that will utilize small modular reactor technology developed by NuScale Power.

A final Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) that assesses future electric power supply options for Los Alamos County is posted here as of August 1st. The electric power industry is changing dramatically to reduce its emissions of carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse” gases. The Board of Public Utilities (BPU) established in 2013 a goal for the Department of Public Utilities “to be a carbon neutral electric provider by 2040.”
