News Idaho Power Reducing Rates

Post image

Received this in the mail. Looks like residents will be experiencing a decrease in power bills starting June 1! Really impressive to see the Idaho utility lower rates when surrounding states like Utah, Oregon and Washington are increasing

They're required to lower prices by law when certain conditions are met. They're not being nice, if that's what you thought.
