Who provides Utah's plans
Every plan here comes from PacifiCorp (Utah) — a limit of what has been indexed, not a claim that it is the only provider in Utah. How each of its plans is built, and what changing between them saves, is set out on PacifiCorp (Utah)'s own page.
What the Utah figures do not cover
Only one utility in Utah has been indexed so far, so the ranges above are not statewide. A household served by another provider will not find its plans here yet.
