Idaho Power - Commercial Custom Efficiency Program

July 29, 2025

Summary

Here’s a **simple summary** of Idaho Power’s **Custom Projects Program** for commercial and industrial energy efficiency:

The Custom Projects Program provides financial incentives for Idaho Power’s business customers who make qualifying energy-saving improvements to their buildings or operations. Projects can be either capital upgrades (like new motors, HVAC systems, or pumps) or energy-management measures (such as system tune-ups or strategic energy planning). Incentives are based on first-year electricity savings and project costs, with limits: capital projects can earn up to $0.20 per kWh saved or 70% of costs, and energy-management projects up to $0.025 per kWh or 100% of costs. The process involves submitting a pre-application, completing energy assessments, and verifying energy savings post-project. Additional programs support low- or no-cost savings through workshops, tune-ups, air leak fixes, and ISO 50001 certification support. Idaho Power also offers free training on energy efficiency topics.
