NEWS RELEASE: Commission sets deadline to request intervenor status in electric utility's
integrated resource plan.
BOISE (Aug. 12, 2025)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has set a Sept. 2 deadline for
interested parties to apply for intervenor status in Idaho Power's Integrated Resource Plan(IRP).
The utility submits an IRP to the commission every two years. The plan's primary goals are to
identify resources that will allow Idaho Power to reliably serve the growing demand for energy
within the utility's service area, ensure a selected preferred portfolio balances cost and risk while
following environmental regulations, give equal and balanced treatment to supply-side resources,
demand-side measures and transmission resources as well as involve the public in the planning
process.
Idaho Power expects the number of metered customers to increase from a December of 2024
level of nearly 648,000 customers to 867,000 customers by 2045. The utility said that to meet
growing demand, the plan includes the addition of 1,445 megawatts of solar, 885 megawatts of
battery storage, 700 megawatts of wind, 611 megawatts of converted coal to natural gas, 550
megawatts of new natural gas, 344 megawatts of energy efficiency and 20 megawatts of
incremental demand response. Idaho Power offers incremental demand response programs that
incentivize customers to reduce electricity usage during peak demand periods.
