Real Utah Prep Story—Secure Power Before 1,386 MW Peak and ITC Ends with Zero-Risk Wins

Introduction

Utah's grid is growing. With 1,386 MW of battery projects in development as of 2025, power may stabilize soon. But now? Rocky Mountain Power's 4.7% rate hike starts Feb 2, 2025, raising rates from 10.96 to 12.89 cents per kWh. Eagle Mountain homes face blackouts. How did one family prep with batteries?

Pain Points Analysis

Utah's solar market drops fast. Fresh data shows big drops. US solar installs fell 7% year-over-year to 10.8 GWdc in Q1 2025. Q2 2025 was down 24% from 2024. Utah faces a 30% market contraction from high interest rates. Homeowner interest jumped 205% in July 2025 due to ITC fears. The ITC expires December 31, 2025, with no extensions—this could cut clean energy 57-72% over a decade. Rocky Mountain Power's rate hike, lowered from 30.6% to 18.1%, adds 4.7% or $4.31-$14.28 monthly to average bills starting Feb 2, 2025. Rates rise from 10.96 to 12.89 cents per kWh. Over 100 solar bankruptcies in 2024-2025, like Sunnova's Chapter 11 in June 2025 with $8.9 billion debt. SunPower and Solar Mosaic also failed, halting loans. Battery waits hit 2-6 months from rush. Competitor prices spike without incentives. Here are seven pains, simple for Eagle Mountain families.

  • ITC Deadline Rush: The 30% federal credit ends December 31, 2025. No more. Eagle Mountain families worry about missing it and losing thousands. A 205% interest jump causes delays up to six months.

  • Rate Hikes Add Bills: Rocky Mountain Power's 4.7% increase adds $4.31-$14.28 monthly starting Feb 2, 2025. Rates jump from 10.96 to 12.89 cents per kWh. Utah's demand grows, making costs worse.

  • Solar Firm Bankruptcies: Over 100 failures in 2024-2025, like Sunnova in June 2025 with $8.9 billion debt. High debt and rates cause this. Many depend on incentives. Post-2025, more could close, leaving projects unfinished.

  • Price Spikes After ITC: No credit means costs rise 50-100%. Competitors hike quotes amid 30% market drop. Eagle Mountain homes could pay double for batteries.

  • Battery Wait Times: Waits stretch 2-6 months due to high demand. Prices average $17k installed. Without ITC, spikes leave families open to blackouts.

  • Warranty Losses: Bankrupt installers like Solar Mosaic mean worthless warranties. Real 2025 cases show customers stuck with broken systems.

  • Unfinished Installs: Deadline rush leads to errors. Miss 2025? No credit, higher bills. Eagle Mountain risks half-done jobs if firms fail.

Most Utah solar companies depend on ITC margins. They will hike prices 50-100% or shut down post-2025, stranding customers.
