Rocky Mountain Power reports in a flier to its customers that it purchased 576 million kilowatt-hours of wind energy in 2009.  That’s 11.7% of its total power needs.  Renewables accounted for 25.2% of its power mix.

The down side: 53% of its power still comes from coal, of which Utah is a major supplier.
