Green Power Program - Idaho Power

What is Green Power?*

It’s clean energy. It’s voluntary. It’s an easy way to make the world a little greener.
One dollar buys 100 kilowatt hours (kWh) of certified green power, delivered to the region’s power grid.
It’s an addition to your monthly bill and you can cancel at any time.

*Please note Idaho Power has filed with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to change the program name to Clean Energy Your Way – Flexible Option.

Two Ways to Participate

Block Option: $1/100 kWh Block

Sign up for as much as you like. Each block costs $1 and represents 100 kWh of renewable energy. For example, buying three blocks means you are using 300 kWh of clean, renewable energy and adding only $3 to your bill. This purchase would match 30% of the average home’s monthly energy use.

100% Option

Match 100% of your monthly energy use for an extra 1 cent per kWh. Cost is based on the amount of energy used each month and will vary as your use does. For example, if you use 967 kWh this month, $9.67 will be added to your bill. If the next month you use 725 kWh, $7.25 will be added to your bill.
