The data highlights anticipated increases in electricity load, natural gas consumption, and petroleum usage. Specifically, electricity load is projected to grow by 17.9% with an annual rate of 1.8%, natural gas consumption by 23.7% with an annual rate of 2.4%, and petroleum usage by 12.8% with an annual rate of 1.3%. The report also details Utah's current proven reserves and annual production rates for petroleum, natural gas, and coal, estimating remaining years of reserve at current production rates. For petroleum, there are 504 million barrels in proven reserves and an annual production rate of 26 million barrels, leaving approximately 19 years of reserves. Natural gas has 8.1 trillion cubic feet in proven reserves and an annual production rate of 0.462 trillion cubic feet, with about 18 years remaining. Coal reserves are listed at 201 million tons with an annual production rate of 20 million tons, resulting in 10 years of reserves. The document also notes specific details for Kaiparowits coal reserves, including 505 million tons and 25 years of proven reserves at current production rates. Units of measurement such as mbbl (million barrels), bcf (billions of cubic feet), and mt (millions of tons) are clarified.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/utahs-projected-fossil-fuel-energy-growth-next-10-years/182929/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/utahs-projected-fossil-fuel-energy-growth-next-10-years/182929.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Paura","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-28","2026-09-02",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",18,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What are the projected growth rates for different fossil fuels in Utah over the next 10 years?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"Over the next 10 years, Utah is projected to see a 17.9% increase in electricity load, a 23.7% increase in natural gas consumption, and a 12.8% increase in petroleum usage.
