Education and Safety for Our Community

Aside from the generation, system maintenance and transmission of electricity to homes and businesses, Idaho Falls Power offers many other programs and services that benefit our customers and the community.

Our four run-of-the-river hydroelectric plants located along the Snake River, have provided ideal opportunities for the development of recreational sites around them. Parks, playgrounds, walking/jogging paths and picnic areas have been built on the banks of the river adjacent to the plants. The quiet, slow-moving waters above each of the plants have provided perfect waters for boating, fishing, swimming, water skiing, jet skiing and ice fishing in the winter. In addition, areas have been built for riparian habitat and waterfowl nesting, as well as a children's fishing pond at the Gem State site.

To keep customers informed on utility issues including electric safety and energy efficiency, information is disseminated to customers through our website, newsletters, brochures, newspaper ads and articles, radio and television.

In addition, we help sponsor and staff community events, and provide a speaker's bureau for local service clubs and organizations. We also survey our customers periodically to find out what we can do better, and what other services they would like us to offer.

Each year, IFP sponsors students from area high schools to attend a week long Youth Rally, where they are educated on utility issues and compete for scholarships offered by participating utilities.

IFP has partnered with Skyline High School and the INL to install a small wind turbine and solar panels near Skyline's daycare center. a renewable education curriculum has been developed in support of these systems. Production output data is analyzed by the students and is available at IFP's Energy Center and INL's Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES) facility.
