Idaho Power is offering a new Irrigation Peak Rewards Program for the 2009 irrigation season. The program will run from June 15 to July 31 and is available to all Idaho Power agricultural irrigation customers. 

The Peak Rewards Program will allow customers to choose between a new Dispatchable option and 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 any weekday (excluding July 4) between 2 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 two-way communication device allows Idaho Power and the customer to remotely control pump(s).
• Special considerations for Large Service Locations (service points with at least 1,000 horsepower and multiple pumps).

Electronic Timer Option

• You can choose to have irrigation pumps automatically turned off one, two or three scheduled weekdays per week.
• Interruption events occur between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on pre-determined weekday(s) depending on the demand credit option the customer chooses.
