A community advisory committee (CAC) worked with Idaho Power in 2007 to create a plan to address the Wood River Valley’s long-term electric demand. Idaho Power wants to help support the continued economic prosperity of the valley by providing a reliable electric supply, and a long-term plan is necessary to ensure the facilities and supply are there when they're needed.

The CAC met monthly with Idaho Power and learned about electrical systems, power supply, transmission and more. Idaho Power had numerous stakeholders and representatives for this community advisory process. CAC members include:

• Regional transportation and growth planners
• Various city and county planners
• Representatives from city councils and county commissions
• Advocacy and special interest groups
• Wood River Valley business leaders
• Residents
