NEWS RELEASE: Commission sets written comments deadline in electric utility's application
for certificate that is part of energy storage project.
BOISE (April 25, 2025)—Written comments are being accepted until early May on an Idaho
Power application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity that would allow it to
proceed with building and operating an energy storage project.
The utility is seeking the certificate of public convenience and necessity for two dispatchable
battery facilities that would provide 100 megawatts of operating capacity. Dispatchable battery
facilities are also known as battery energy storage systems. The storage systems allow an electric
utility to better balance supply and demand. They also help when a utility experiences a
reduction in energy when sources such as solar or wind drop off.
The commission is accepting written comments until Wednesday, May 7. Comments are
required to be filed through the commission website or by e-mail unless computer access is not
available. To comment electronically, please visit puc.idaho.gov and click on the "Case
