Irrigation Rates and Billing

Irrigation customers have different rates during different times of the year. From June 1 to Sept. 20, we have “in-season” rates and a demand charge. From Oct. through May 31, we have “out-of-season” rates, and these do not include a demand charge. In addition, Idaho irrigation customers have calendar-month billing, and Oregon irrigation customers are on a cyclical billing schedule. Learn more about rates and billing cycles to help you best manage operating your pumps.

Workshops and Events
Our annual Irrigation Workshops occurred in February 2026. Thank you to everyone who attended! Please check back again for upcoming events or reach out to your Idaho Power agricultural representative.
Overhead Line Safety
Overhead power lines are all around us. To stay safe while working outside, it’s important to be aware of your surroundings and keep yourself and your equipment a safe distance from power lines. Look up, look around and be safe!
