About the Program
This voluntary demand response program gives irrigation customers the opportunity to earn incentives by allowing Idaho Power to remotely turn off irrigation pumps for a few specific hours when summer energy demand is high. You choose how to participate, either through automatic dispatch using a load control device, or manual dispatch when you’re notified to turn off your selected pumps, so you stay in control of your operation.
