Idaho Power Sells Oregon Assets | Boise News

Idaho Power is selling its entire Oregon service area — worth $154 million — to Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative, adding 20,000 new customers to the co-op’s existing 60,000. The move, planned for years, lets Idaho Power stabilize rates for its core customers while avoiding a potential 17% hike for Oregon users (who’ll see a modest 5.7% increase). The co-op will inherit most infrastructure, including power lines and substations, while Idaho Power retains some generation assets in the region. The deal is expected to close by early 2027, reshaping energy delivery across Eastern Oregon. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
