Chamber Member Spotlight: Idaho Power: A Century of Energizing Idaho’s Economy

​For over 100 years, Idaho Power has been more than an energy provider; it has been a driving force behind Idaho’s growth and economic success. With clean hydropower as the backbone of its system, Idaho Power delivers some of the nation’s most affordable electricity, providing businesses from family farms to large corporations a competitive edge with stable, predictable costs.

Collaboration is central to Idaho Power’s mission. The economic development team works with local leaders to ensure energy infrastructure supports future growth. With over 2,000 employees, including agricultural representatives, energy advisors, and key account advisors, the company offers personalized support to businesses. 

Whether it’s helping a farm lower its energy use or guiding a corporation toward renewable energy, Idaho Power provides tailored solutions. Programs like Clean Energy Your Way enable businesses to meet sustainability goals, exemplified by the Boise Airport’s transition to 100% clean energy.
Idaho Power combines innovation with careful planning to meet the region’s evolving energy needs. The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), updated every two years, is a 20-year strategy that ensures reliability, affordability, and sustainability. Investments in grid modernization, battery storage, and emerging technologies such as modular nuclear reactors and geothermal energy help the company stay ahead of growth and change.

Beyond delivering power, Idaho Power actively supports the communities it serves. Employees volunteer through initiatives like Power of Community Day and offer safety presentations to businesses and organizations. These efforts reflect the company’s deep commitment to the well-being of the region.

As Idaho grows, Idaho Power continues to lead with innovative solutions, strategic investments, and a steadfast focus on community. By balancing reliability, affordability, and sustainability, the company remains a trusted partner in empowering businesses and shaping Idaho’s economic future.
