Idaho Power to Host Dozens of Outage Preparedness Events This Spring

BOISE, Idaho — Idaho Power is hosting a series of public open houses throughout its service area this spring to share information with customers about outage preparedness, safety, and wildfire prevention, including public safety power shutoffs (PSPS).

Idaho Power keeps the lights on 99.9% of the time, but extreme weather or fires can lead to extended outages. It’s important for all customers to be prepared for their unique situations in case they are impacted by an outage.

Attendees can talk with Idaho Power experts about a variety of topics:

  • Outage preparedness — how to plan for your unique needs
  • Idaho Power wildfire prevention efforts — what the company is doing to strengthen the grid and keep communities safe
  • Public safety power shutoffs — a proactive outage to help prevent fire during extreme weather
  • Tools to help you manage your account and stay informed — including our app and outage alerts

Events start March 29 and run through the end of May. Visit idahopower.com/communitymeetings for a full list of locations and dates.

The company will also host virtual meetings May 7 (English) and May 8 (Spanish). These links are also available on the company’s website.
