Idaho Power is offering the Irrigation Peak Rewards Program for the 2010 irrigation season. The program will run from June 15 to Aug. 15 and is available to all Idaho Power agricultural irrigation customers.

The Peak Rewards Program allows customers to choose between either the Dispatchable option or the Electronic Timer option. Metered Services Points totaling less than 100 cumulative horsepower may be required to pay an installation fee depending on the option they choose. Read more about it in this brochure (PDF) or review the program's contract agreement (PDF).

Dispatchable Option (on demand load control events)

• Dispatchable load control events can occur Monday through Saturday (excluding July 4) between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m., with notice given by 4 p.m. on the day prior to an event.
• Dispatchable load control events can occur up to 4 hours per day, up to 15 hours per week but no more than 60 hours per season.
• A communication device installed on the customer’s electrical panel that allows Idaho Power and the customer to remotely control pumps.
• An option for customers to also have remote control of pumps.
• Special considerations for Large Service Locations (service points with at least 1,000 horsepower and multiple pumps).

Electronic Timer Option

• Interruption events occur between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on pre-determined days depending on the demand credit option the customer chooses.
