NEWS RELEASE: Commission is accepting written comments on electric utility's 2025
Integrated Resource Plan.
BOISE (Oct. 7, 2025)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is accepting written comments
until mid-November on Idaho Power's 2025 Integrated Resource Plan(IRP). The plan examines
the utility's projected need for additional electricity during the next 20 years and the resources
that will best meet that need.
The utility said demand for electricity is expected to grow significantly during the next 20 years,
with its peak load expected to grow by approximately 1,700 megawatts. It also said it 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.
