Idaho Power Eyes Oregon Sale | Boise News

Idaho Power is eyeing a $154 million sale of its Oregon service territory to OTEC, potentially affecting 50,000 customers—regulators must approve. The move aims to streamline operations and lower Idaho rates by focusing on home-state growth, while Oregon residents could see a rate hike of 17% without the deal—but only a 5.7% jump if OTEC takes over. Idaho Power won’t vanish; it’ll still supply power wholesale and retain key infrastructure like the Boardman-Hemingway line and environmental programs. Regulators will decide whether this complex transaction benefits both companies and customers. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
