到2045年实现100%清洁能源
这个目标不仅对我们有意义, 这对我们的许多客户都很重要, the communities we serve and the places we call home. 了解我们是如何前进的 today, tomorrow and together.
Today.
Idaho Power’s largest energy source is clean hydropower. Our energy mix also includes wind, solar and geothermal long-term purchases.
In 2010, we set an ambitious carbon-reduction goal. 我们达到并超越了它. See our progress as we’ve continued to challenge ourselves with additional carbon-reduction goals.
Our energy-efficiency programs saved nearly 170,000 MWh of electricity in 2022. That’s enough energy to power about 14,900 average homes for a year.

This energy mix shows the energy we generate from company-owned resources and energy we buy through long-term contracts with wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and small-scale hydro generators. The overall mix does not represent the energy delivered to customers for two reasons. First, we participate in the wholesale energy market and sell energy both to other utilities and to retail customers. Second, some of our purchased power from renewable sources comes with a Renewable Energy Credit, or REC, 我们卖给客户以保持低价格.
Tomorrow.
We exited one coal-fired generator in 2019 and another in 2020. We are strategically planning to move away from our remaining coal-fired generation.
The 博德曼致海明威 transmission line will serve as a clean-energy pipeline for the region. We’re making progress in planning and permitting.
我们正在投资太阳能. A large array right here in Idaho is sending us energy at some of the lowest rates in the nation.
Together.
See how we partner with businesses like Bigelow Tea to help them achieve their clean energy goals.
我们将如何实现这一目标?
We’re investing our time and our money today to ensure a realistic path forward for tomorrow. Idaho Power’s strong hydroelectric backbone — along with investments in transmission, solar, wind and other clean sources — means we’re well on our way. Achieving our goal will require technological advances as well as a continued focus on energy efficiency and demand-response programs. While natural gas may be required for the near future, we’ll be looking for ways to reduce or offset this need. 保持我们的系统 reliable and affordable will always remain top of mind.
