Green Power Program
Green Power - A Resource Of Choice
One by one, your neighbors and local businesses have chosen to make our environment better by enrolling in Idaho Power’s voluntary Green Power Program. Through their choice, we all benefit.
What is Green Power?
- It’s clean. Green power comes from environmentally-certified wind and solar energy.
- It’s simple. In our program, a $7 monthly purchase is equal to removing one car off the road for an entire year.
- It’s in your community. Participation in our Green Power Program supports Solar 4R Schools, bringing solar to the roofs of area schools.
How Can I Participate?
Decide how much you want to contribute. The amount is added each month to your power bill. The entire amount you designate will be used to purchase green power from renewable projects in the Northwest and to support Solar 4R Schools.
To explore the right level of participation for you, use our Contribution Calculator.
Once you have determined the right level of participation, sign up today and start counting the difference you’re making.
Interested in installing solar panels
or wind turbines?
Our net metering program allows customers to install small-scale, renewable generation projects on their property and connect to Idaho Power’s grid system through generator interconnection. The purpose of the program is to enable customers to offset their energy use. Customers generating more electricity than they use can earn a credit on their Idaho Power bill.
