Idaho Power’s Green Power Program purchases green power through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF). There are several wind resources that may be used to supply the power. But through our partnership with BEF, Idaho Power ensures the green power in our program is:

• sourced locally from projects located in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, or Wyoming;
• reviewed to ensure the projects meet rigorous environmental siting and operations criteria endorsed by three leading environmental organizations: Natural Resources Defense Council, Northwest Energy Coalition and the Renewable Northwest Project; and
• certified by Green-e, ensuring each transaction meets strict consumer-protection and environmental standards.

In 2007, Idaho Power’s Green Power Program purchased green power from the sources below. Information on purchases for 2008 will be available in early 2009.

• Foote Creek Wind Farm, Carbon County, Wyoming
• Stateline Wind Farm, Helix Oregon/Walla Walla, Washington
• White Bluffs Solar, White Bluffs, Washington
• Ashland Civic Center Solar, Ashland, Oregon
• Ashland Police Solar, Ashland, Oregon
