Long-range Energy Planning Meeting Will Focus on Forecasts

The next public meeting in Idaho Power’s long-range planning process is set for Thursday, Nov. 12. This will be the third monthly meeting of the company’s 2027 Integrated Resource Plan Advisory Council (IRPAC). The company produces an Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) every two years and intends to submit its 2027 plan to regulators in June.

During Thursday’s meeting, Idaho Power employees will discuss forecasts for various energy sources, modeling scenarios, and other topics that will factor into the utility’s 20-year energy plan.

The virtual IRPAC meetings are open to the public. Background information and a link for attending via Webex are available at idahopower.com/irp. Meetings begin at 9 a.m. Mountain Time.

The IRPAC is a volunteer panel that will meet with Idaho Power staff over several months to discuss the 2027 Integrated Resource Plan, which will lay out the company’s preferred portfolio of energy resources to serve customers over the next 20 years. The IRPAC includes representatives from public-interest groups, industry, and agriculture, as well as state and local lawmakers, Idaho and Oregon public utility commission staff, and other interested parties. The advisory council provides public input and feedback that helps the company create the 2027 IRP.
