Nephi is a utility company that also runs a town
Energy runs the ledger
| Vendor | Total paid | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Utah Municipal Power Agency | $79.4M | 24.0% |
| Summit Energy | $18.1M | 5.5% |
| Johansen Construction | $16.9M | 5.1% |
| BP Energy | $7.5M | 2.3% |
| Stuart C. Irby Co. | $5.6M | 1.7% |
UMPA, the Utah Municipal Power Agency, is 24% of everything Nephi spends on its own. Add Summit Energy and BP Energy, which supply natural gas, and Stuart C. Irby, which sells electrical distribution equipment, and the pattern is hard to miss. Nephi runs its own electric and gas utilities, buys the commodity wholesale, and resells it to residents. The 2026 department breakdown backs this up, with separate gas and electric lines near the top.
A steady operation, not a boom town
