Planning for Our Energy Future

Every two years, Idaho Power develops a 20-Year Energy Plan, also known as our Integrated Resource Plan (IRP).

The plan helps us determine how we’ll continue safely delivering reliable, affordable electricity while meeting the needs of our growing communities. The IRP looks at energy needs over the next 20 years and evaluates the best mix of resources to serve customers while balancing:

• Reliability
• Affordability
• Environmental responsibility
• Energy efficiency
• Long-term risk

The plan is reviewed by regulators and informed by customers, community representatives, and industry experts.

Your Voice Matters

We believe planning our energy future should include the people we serve.

Customers and community members can participate in the planning process through our Integrated Resource Plan Advisory Council (IRPAC), a group that provides feedback and perspectives throughout the development of the plan and represents our more than 670,000 customers.

The council includes representatives from:

• Large commercial and industrial customers
• Agricultural and irrigation organizations
• Environmental groups
• State and local government
• Regulatory agencies
• Other interested stakeholders

Together, these participants help ensure a wide range of customer perspectives are considered as we plan for the future.
