Idaho Power has proudly delivered reliable, affordable energy to our customers for more than 100 years. Learn about our system and how we get electricity to you.
Idaho Power provides electricity to more than 660,000 customers in our 24,000 square-mile service area across southern Idaho and eastern Oregon. See how we make that happen.
Transmission lines are the interstate highways of the grid. They move large amounts of electricity across long distances, from the places it is generated to the communities that use it.
The number of Idaho Power customers continues to grow rapidly. This growth means more energy is needed, and that energy must travel across our transmission lines — the “freeways” of electricity transport.
The Smart Grid represents energy innovation. It gives customers information they need to be wise energy consumers. It uses new technology to retrieve data and take actions that benefit electrical grid performance.
Maintaining the right voltage is important for the effectiveness and durability of electrical equipment like irrigation pumps, dryers and lights.
