From Idaho Power's website:
The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) is a comprehensive look at present and future demands for electricity, as well as a plan for meeting those demands. . .
Idaho Power enlists the assistance of its customers in developing the IRP through an advisory council. The council’s responsibilities include:
- Representing the interests of Idaho Power’s more than 480,000 customers
- Participating in open and active discussions of relevant issues, and
- Working with Idaho Power to develop ways to engage the public-at-large in the IRP process.
. . . The 2006 IRP previewed the company's load and resource situation for the next 20 years, analyzed potential supply-side and demand-side options and identified near-term and long-term actions . . .

Idaho Power's Integrated Resource Plan is associated with the 25-year Treasure Valley Electrical Plan (TVEP), of which the 500 kV transmission lines are a part. Tuesday's IRP Advisory Meeting is open to the public, so seven members of the Stop Idaho Power Board of Directors will be in attendance to give public comment. We encourage any interested parties from Canyon, Payette or Owyhee counties to also be in attendance.
