It was a pleasure welcoming a group of congressional energy policy staffers, industry partners and nuclear energy leaders to Idaho Falls this week!

As part of their tour of Idaho National Laboratory and meetings with reactor developers, the group stopped by Idaho Falls Power to learn more about our community-owned utility and the role energy plays in powering our growing community. Special shoutout to Generation Superintendent Jason Cooper and External Affairs Manager Sarah Wheeler for helping make the visit a great one and showcasing Idaho Falls Power!

We’re proud to be part of the conversation, and to showcase the incredible energy innovation happening right here in eastern Idaho! ⚡️

Thank you to our crews for working hard to safely get everyone’s power back on, and thank you to our customers for your patience while repairs were underway.

Tree trimmers are cutting the tree off the lines, so linemen can replace the cross arms on the pole that broke. We hope to have power restored as soon as their work is complete. Thank you for your continued patience. Any other updates, we will post them here.

Food Safety Reminder During Outages:
•Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible.
•Food in a closed refrigerator is generally safe for 4–5 hours.
•A half-full freezer can keep food frozen for about 24 hours, and a full freezer for about 48 hours if left unopened.
•After about 4 hours without power, consider moving perishable refrigerator items to a cooler with ice.
•Discard perishable foods that have been above 40°F for more than two hours.

Happy National Hydropower Day! 💧⚡ For the past two weeks, we’ve been showing you just how much , and today, on National Hydropower Day, we’re bringing it all together.

Hydropower is more than the electricity that comes from moving water. It helps power America with clean, reliable energy, keep electricity affordable, manage our water resources, support healthy rivers and ecosystems, create careers, fuel local economies, provide opportunities for recreation, encourage innovation and strengthen our energy future. And with providing dependable power around the clock and nearly 90% of America’s long-duration energy storage, it plays a critical role in keeping our electric grid ready when we need it most.

For more than 140 years, hydropower has been working for America, and here in the City of Idaho Falls we know firsthand how much it can do. We’re proud to have provided our community with clean, reliable and affordable power generated from the water that surrounds us for over 125 years! From our rivers to our homes, our businesses to our future, Hydro Works. 💧⚡

Downtown Idaho Falls is looking better, and working better, thanks to a major investment in our community’s infrastructure.

Idaho Falls Power’s downtown alley project is nearing completion, relocating overhead powerlines underground and installing new secondary service infrastructure for affected customers at no additional cost.

Made possible in part through a federal grant, this project reduces the overall cost while improving the appearance of downtown, increasing safety and reliability, and creating a stronger, more resilient electrical system for years to come.

We’re excited to see this important project nearing the finish line and to continue investing in a downtown that is safe, vibrant and built for the future.
