Logan City Light and Power spokespersons alerted the Logan City Council to a potential power shortage that could raise costs this summer.
Director Mark Montgomery and resource director Yuqi Zhao gave a presentation to the Logan Municipal Council on Feb. 1. Zhao estimated a power shortage around 25-35 megawatts.
