Moon Lake Electric's Growth From Humble Start to Power Leader
In the Uintah Basin eastern Utah Moon Lake Electric stemmed from a 1936 Rural Electrification Act spark. Founders including Daniels Wathen Conklin Jarman formed a cooperative to obtain power from Uintah Power and Light and later expanded via mergers and federal projects. Growth followed through hydro units diesel plants Rangely and Bureau of Reclamation projects Fleming Gorge Big Thompson, culminating in a 12 million dollar corporation with 18 594 kw capacity and 1 404 188 dollar revenue in 1981.
